Mid-Management: Leadership for Corrections Professionals

In an effort to assist agencies in professional development and succession planning by preparing personnel serving in mid-management to senior level positions for greater responsibility, the Correctional Management Institute of Texas offers a five-day (36-hour) Mid- Management: Leadership for Corrections Professionals class for criminal justice professionals.

Mid-Management is designed to equip participants with leadership tools/topics that are required for effective leaders. The program has been sculpted to capture the most current leadership focuses and core competencies as identified by the National Institute of Corrections. Furthermore, great effort has been made in seeking the input and guidance from field practitioners and leadership in determining program relevancy and its ability to meet and measure up to its intended design and purpose.
