All classes are held at the CBIA offices in Hartford.

CBIA Management Institute has developed a series of courses aimed at preparing your company's managers and human resource professionals for greater responsibilities.

Talented senior and middle managers are crucial to your business success; however, finding the time and resources to develop their leadership skills can be a challenge. Consequently, your star performers don't always get the appropriate preparation before they are given greater responsibilities.

Sign up for one course or a combination of courses at a reduced price. The choice is yours. The series is as follows:
