The School of Management and Labor Relations (SMLR) offers a variety of
continuing education programs for professionals. Here are some
examples: Prudential employees may enroll in SMLR graduate courses offered
at the Prudential site in Livingston, New Jersey. These courses are
conducted by Rutgers instructors and are identical to those the
university offers on campus in the SMLR master's degree programs. Prudential
employees are enrolled on a nonmatriculated basis, and individuals who
successfully complete six courses receive a certificate in disability
management. A limited number of online courses and a graduate
certificate in labor and employment relations are also available.
The Rutgers Center for Management Development (CMD) is one of the largest
university-affiliated training organizations in the United States.
CMD's programs are designed to strengthen executive and managerial
skills and assist individuals and their organizations in becoming more
competitive through more effective management. CMD offers noncredit
management and training in a wide range of topic areas. These courses
focus on contemporary developments and research in various fields of
management. The center's custom and public training programs strengthen
students' professional, technical, and managerial skills. CMD has been
selected by the Michigan Business School Report as one of the nation's top university-based management training programs.
The
school's Labor Extension Program provides basic and advanced training
for trade union leaders, managers, and public officials who want to
learn more about labor and employment relations. Members of the SMLR
faculty and outside experts develop and conduct these programs at
Rutgers and throughout the state.
The Public Sector Labor-Management Relations Certificate Program is jointly sponsored by the New Jersey
Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) and SMLR. All courses are taught by Rutgers
University faculty, PERC staff, and experienced labor-management
professionals. The classes are open to all interested members of the
public sector labor-management community. Participants who complete a
total of six courses, including at least two advanced courses, will
earn an Achievement Certificate from Rutgers University.
SMLR now offers the Jersey City
off-campus master in human resource management (M.H.R.M.) program to
students at the Jersey City location. This opportunity gives students
access to Rutgers' comprehensive M.H.R.M. program, including the
benefits of internationally recognized faculty who bring a wealth of
expertise to the classroom, while having the advantage of being in the
New York metropolitan area where there are endless possibilities for
working with a large range of companies and market leaders.
