Program information

Program description

The Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program (MLCP) has been developed through a training partnership of five Ontario Community Colleges and the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME). Global competition, the development of advanced technologies and other economic challenges are rapidly changing the way Canadian business and industry operate. Supervisors have felt the impact of the changes most dramatically. Today’s manufacturing supervisors must demonstrate multifaceted leadership combined with a high level of technical expertise. The Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program is exactly what you need if you are a supervisor, manager or have goals targeted in that direction.

This program will be delivered online by OntarioLearn.
