The School of Management and Labor Relations (SMLR) offers a variety of
continuing education programs for professionals. Here are some
examples: 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.
