Executive Leadership Training for New Wardens

The National Institute of Corrections is seeking to support the delivery of three in-person leadership training programs to strengthen leadership capacity within corrections agencies. The program, titled Executive Leadership Training for New Wardens, is a 36-hour, instructor-led program designed for wardens with fewer than two years of experience. The program focuses on essential leadership and administrative skills required to effectively manage a correctional facility. Core topics include institutional culture, central office relationships, fiscal decision-making, human resource management, media relations, action planning, and self-care. • The program provides participants with valuable opportunities to network with peers from across the country. • The training is specifically designed for new wardens to enhance their leadership skills. • The program is part of the Corrections Training and Staff Development initiative. • The funding opportunity is not open to competitive applications, as it is a continuation of a previous cooperative agreement.
