My D has asked me to look into options for her BF. He works for a small non profit and due to circumstances of his supervisor leaving on bad terms has found himself being promoted after only 6 months at his job.
The new position comes with a good salary increase and much added responsibility.The director has asked him to take a management course. When BF asked what course his boss replied I don’t have a specific one in mind. He’s happy with whatever BF comes up with.Im assuming a course is a series of classes though it could be his boss would be happy with one class from a CC. This according to my D and some details may have been lost in translation.
I’m looking for suggestions of online courses since he will be working during the day.Also opinions on whether getting a certificate in Project Management or something along those lines has any value down the line. The Univ of California near them has quite a number of different Business and Management course through the Extension program. I’m assuming as in undergrad he should avoid “for profit” institutions.
Non profit will pay for course.
Thanks
He should definitely be looking at grad courses, not classes at a CC. Ultimately he should obtain an MBA or look at EMBA programs.
He needs to look at this from a standpoint of building gis resume so that he could be in a position to move forward. There are certificate programs in non-profit management that he should investigate. There will be a series of 5 to 6 courses where he can receive his certification.
There are a series of certificate and Masters programs in non-profit management from short 6 day courses, to one year courses, on-line and brick and motar classes

Thank you @sybbie719
I’ll pass the links along. I don’t think he will stay in non profit work long term. They are not near UCLA but he works just a few miles from another UC which has an extensive extension program. It looks like that would be a good place to start his search.
He also has two years of GI bill education to use down the line.
