Enrollment Completer Projections
This was proposed to the WAFC recently - during Southern California Advisory Meeting and is something that ALL participating retailers (Stater Bros, Vons, Safeway, Food 4 Less, Raplphs, Costco, etc.) ALL agreed would be and excellent addition to be able to offer their lower level managers. USC offers a program that is extremely expensive and the retailers only send TOP management to this program. This new Certificate at SBVC would allow current and future management to enroll, along with companies in our region. After the certificate is announced, we expect 10 or more on an annual basis to be enrolled and complete the Leadership Certificate.
