Technology Leadership Certificate


In eCornell Certificate Programs  

Whether you’re in software engineering, web development, or IT, professionals in the technology industry are uniquely suited to be strong leaders through their mastery of analysis and problem-solving skills. Yet many lack formal management training in the soft skills necessary to help tech teams and organizations reach their highest potential.

In this certificate program, you’ll have the opportunity to analyze your own leadership attributes and decision-making styles as a technology leader; strengthen essential communication, motivation, and influencing skills; and ultimately prepare for future growth and success in the management of technical and project teams.

For the best experience in this program it is recommended to take these courses in the order that they appear.

This program includes a year of free access to Symposium! These events feature several days of live, highly participatory virtual Zoom sessions with Cornell faculty and experts to explore the most pressing leadership topics. Symposium events are held several times throughout the year. Once enrolled in your program, you will receive information about upcoming events.

Throughout the year, you may participate in as many sessions as you wish. Attending Symposium sessions is not required to successfully complete the certificate program.
