We are currently enrolling for the following cohorts. 

NOTE: If these cohorts are full or the dates do not work with your schedule, you may proceed with completing the NLD Application Form. Be sure to select the Future Cohort date option from the drop-down menu. We encourage you to begin working on your elective courses as soon as you complete the program registration form. Watch for notices about new NLD Cohort start dates.

Note: Workshop changes and cancellations are possible and will be communicated by L&OD as soon as possible. Added elective workshops will be shared with participants and reflected on the NLD Completion Form.

1. Download and complete the New Leader Development Agreement form before accessing the NLD Program Application form. For full functionality, please be sure you open all PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat; do not complete in browser. 

• This document must be
  1. 1. Signed by the participant and their immediate supervisor.
     2. Saved as PDF.
     3. Uploaded into the application form.

2. Complete the New Leader Development Program Application.
   • Incomplete applications will not be considered for enrollment into the New Leader Development program. Please ensure all fields are completed and all required documents are attached.
   • L&OD will review all applications and notify registrants and their supervisors on a weekly basis. Notifications are sent on the Tuesday following registration.

3. Report registration challenges to learninganddevelopment@ouhsc.edu.

1. Download a copy of the NLD Tracking and Completion Form and use it to track your progress towards program completion. A completed copy of this form must be uploaded into the NLD Completion Verification Form. 
2. Workshop attendance records will be used to verify instructor-led workshop attendance and uploaded copies of LinkedIn Learning course Certificates of Completion will be used to verify online course completions.
3. For Instructor-led workshops:
   1. Participants must follow the sign-in instructions for each workshop.
   2. Zoom workshop facilitators will verify attendance as they admit you into the session or ask you to type your name into the chat. Participants must be present for the entire workshop and have their camera on and focused on them for the entire workshop.
   3. Only instructor-led workshops listed on the completion form will count toward program completion. Any new workshops added after your registration will be shared with program participants. 
4. Participants should confirm their HR instructor-led workshops attendance record by logging in and viewing their PeopleSoft (Self-Service) portal Learning and Development Training Summary page three to four days after each session.

• NOTE: The L&OD team does not control the upload of information from the Training Calendar to PeopleSoft; IT (Information Technology) uploads this information on a weekly schedule. If you do not see it there AFTER 7 business days, please email learninganddevelopment@ouhsc.edu.

5. Participants may only be actively enrolled in one L&OD program at a time. Workshops listed in multiple L&OD programs will only count toward the completion of one program. In other words, L&OD participants may NOT use the same workshop to meet the course requirements of a different L&OD program.
6. Submit the NLD Completion Verification Form once the six Core workshops (18 hours) have been completed and the 22 elective hours have been earned totaling 40 program learning.
7. Program completion requests are verified and issued once a quarter.
   • Completion forms received by March 31 are verified in April. Certificates are issued by May.
   • Completion forms received by June 30 are verified in July. Certificates are issued by August.
   • Completion forms received by Sept. 30 are verified in October. Certificates are issued by November.
   • Completion forms received by Dec. 31 are verified in January. Certificates are issued by February.
8. Upon completion of the NLD program, a Certificate of Achievement will be sent to the participant and their supervisor will be notified about their team member’s amazing accomplishment.

Email learninganddevelopment@ouhsc.edu if you have program completion questions or need assistance.

No. You can enroll in the program at any time and begin working on your 22 hours of elective workshops. An L&OD team member will work with you to select and enroll you in the next available cohort.

If you completed an elective workshop(s) within three months of starting the New Leader Development program, it or they can be counted toward completion of the program.

We believe 18 months (about one and a half years) is ample time to complete the New Leader Development program, therefore, it is not our practice to extend program completion beyond the allotted completion time. If you are enrolled in NLD and do not know your current target completion date, please email learninganddevelopment@ouhsc.edu for this information.

Participants who must miss a cohort workshop are responsible for contacting the L&OD team in advance of the absence at learninganddevelopment@ouhsc.edu. An unexpected absence should be reported within two days of the missed workshop. Participants who do not contact the L&OD team regarding their absence or miss more than one cohort workshop will be asked to reapply to the program.

This is not a prerequisite for any other leadership development programs. However, it will help you develop solid skills which you may then apply as you complete other programs.

No. All elective hours for the New Leader Development program must come from the verified attendance of an approved L&OD instructor-led workshop (either in person or via Zoom) or the completion of a LinkedIn Learning course verified by a Certificate of Completion.
