------------------------------------------------------------- Professional Specialization Certificate in Cultural Heritage Sector Leadership The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is pleased to announce an innovative Certificate Program for museum and cultural sector professionals seeking to enhance their management and leadership skills. The Professional Specialization Certificate in Cultural Heritage Sector Leadership is an accredited program offered through the Division of Continuing Studies in cooperation with the School of Public Administration and the Department of History in Art. The PSC in Cultural Heritage Sector Leadership offers museum and cultural sector professionals an opportunity to strengthen and enhance management and leadership skills through a partnership of theoretical study and practical work-based analysis of challenges and opportunities facing their own institution. This energetic combination of practice and principle facilitates critical thinking skills, develops networking opportunities, and builds confidence, capacity and ability. Course instructors combine the diverse skills of museum sector professionals, expertise from the not-for-profit sector, and experience teaching working professionals. Fellow PSC participants, mentors from your own work-place, and other working professionals from the sector provide additional support and guidance. Participants in the PSC begin their studies with a three-day seminar "Challenges in Cultural Sector Leadership" from November 22 to 24, 2004, hosted in Victoria, British Columbia. Here, participants will meet fellow PSC candidates, instructors, and mentors, develop project plans and begin a journey of discovery. Four online courses follow to offer participants flexibility to learn in their own surroundings while being networked to peers within the museum and cultural sector. The PSC is a 6.0 unit program of studies requiring completion of four courses including three core courses offered in a distance format through the School of Public Administration at the University of Victoria.
