Career and Talent Management

Cohort programs focus on a specific employee population or job role.

These programs usually include multiple-sessions targeted to the knowledge and skills needed for a particular role. They provide a structure for learning and “doing” over time and therefore help build a learning community that serves as a network after the program is completed.

Role-based development programs can include content modules blended with on-the-job experiences. Individual development plans are used to take advantage of existing training and learning resources and to encourage continued education.

Examples of cohort development programs at MIT are:

• Leader to Leader
  
• Administrative Officer Development Programs
• Essentials of Managing
