This program is a powerful investment in Georgia's next generation of engineering professionals and distinguishes your firm as an industry leader. For 24 years, the Future Leaders Program has trained talented, up-and-coming leaders on managerial skills that extend well beyond the engineering profession and set them on a track for higher-level leadership. Participants will learn from an array of professionals on topics such as business development, presentation skills and effective marketing. Plus, sessions over the nine-month program include an introduction to political advocacy, accounting, and risk management. The 2020-2021 Class is currently in progress.
