What is WCU Works?
WCU Works is a professional certification program providing high-quality development in skills and competencies vital to organizational and professional success. Designed with WCU’s strategic goals in mind, WCU Works enhances the effectiveness and confidence of employees in life and work. In addition to in-person professional development events, participants will enjoy access to a myriad of on-line learning opportunities through the Franklin Covey All Access Pass.
Who is WCU Works for?
All interested staff and faculty are invited to participate, although the programming will concentrate on competencies primarily outside the classroom setting. Participants will select one of the following tracks:
- Job and Personal Effectiveness: for non-supervisors
- Frontline Leadership: for leaders of frontline teams or non-supervisors wanting to develop leadership skills
- Strategic Leadership: for mid to upper-level leaders overseeing other supervisors with strategic responsibility
How does the program work?
Applicants formally select a learning track as part of the application process. Upon reaching 40 hours of professional development in their focus area over a 2-year period, participants will receive a certificate and earn Continuing Education Units.
What are the benefits to me as a participant?
- Development of the knowledge and skills necessary to build confidence and abilities in all aspects of your roles, including those in work and life.
- Enhancement of your opportunities for career development.
- Networking opportunities with other leaders and employees.
- Development of fresh perspectives and cutting-edge competencies designed to keep you engaged in your purpose beyond the press of day-to-day tasks and demands.

During this time of social distancing, what are the options for on-line learning?
WCU Works will offer in-person learning opportunities as conditions allow. In the meantime, program participants will complete on-line programs via the Franklin Covey All Access Pass, which includes access to the Jhana learning portal. Facilitators will offer blended learning opportunities for core courses, so that on-line content will be supplemented with in-person or live on-line discussions and exercises.
