MLTD Info Session: Sep. 20

The Master of Learning and Talent Development (MLTD) is an entirely online graduate degree that prepares you to lead training and development in organizations, assess when various development strategies are needed, and implement and evaluate solutions for organizational change.

As a student in the online MLTD program, you are part of virtually everything our department, college, and world-class university have to offer graduate students (although it may be more accurate to say everything offered virtually, unless you happen to be located near campus). OLPD hosts workshops, seminars, and networking events every semester which are accessible online via Zoom. The Graduate League of OLPD (GLO) is open to all of our graduate students, totaling nearly 500 people across more than 20 graduate programs. You'll receive full access to the University's library system and associated resources, student benefits, and much, much more.

MLTD students gain the capacity to:

• Demonstrate how HRD contributes to organizational strategy and apply appropriate models and methods as part of strategic planning
• Communicate effectively in front of both small and large groups of people, both in person and online
• Quickly assess and distill the necessary skills and knowledge needed in the subjects for which they design and implement training
• Provide people-based solutions to their organizations or clients, both in-person and online
• Become a better leader of people and projects
• Design and deploy organizational learning programs
• Design and implement DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs for an organization
• Assess, design, implement, and evaluate training, leadership, and organization development programs
• Explore and develop soft skills needed by leaders, such as effective emotional intelligence, proactive social awareness, and relationship management.

It is possible to remain fully employed while completing requirements for this degree.
