ACA Middle Manager Certificate of Added Qualification

This staff training certificate is specifically designed for middle managers who are working in a camp or some other kind of youth setting like afterschool. The term “middle manager” can be a broad job title that includes program directors, afterschool directors, directors of specialized program activities, and some may even be considered part of the support staff (i.e. site managers, health care managers, etc.). However, all share the expectation that you often have supervisory expectations for other staff, administrative responsibilities, and are often instrumental in training and evaluation efforts undertaken by your program. You also have a “boss” to whom you answer and often are under the guidance of this person. Some of you may be full-time, year-round employees; others of you may be year-around part-time employees; and still others of you may be seasonal employees. This course is an intensive 15 hour course built around the ACA thirteen core competencies. It has been designed to provide learners with the most typical skills and activities encountered by middle managers.
