Change Management Certification Program

What is the Change Management Certification Program?

Penn State Schuylkill offers a Change Management Certification Program in partnership with Prosci, a change management organization founded in 1994 by former Bell Labs engineer and program manager Jeff Hiatt.

The Change Management Certification Program is an interactive, three-day learning experience where participants gain the knowledge, skills and tools to drive successful change initiatives. During the program, participants apply Prosci’s holistic change management methodology to a current project. By the end of the program, participants have the foundation of a Change Management Plan to address and enhance a specific project.

This course will be scheduled to meet participants' needs. If you're interested in enrolling in this course, begin the registration process >
