UNC Charlotte has partnered with the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) to offer a 24-hour Procurement and Supply Management Fundamentals Certificate program. Participants can choose a four-week evening class or a three-day boot camp.
The terms procurement and supply chain refer to a series of processes or steps used to produce and/or distribute goods or services to a customer. Procurement and supply chain management involves the execution of securing those goods and services at a reasonable cost and delivering them to a designated location in a timely, efficient manner.

A retirement survival course will be offered from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Friday, May 15, at UNC Charlotte Center City.

This one-day UNC Charlotte continuing education course will teach attendees fundamental principles to ensure their money lasts. Participants will learn how to better manage their investments, consider taxes when making decisions, increase monthly income; protect their life’s savings from investment mistakes and prepare for the biggest risks they might face in retirement.

Families will notice something new this year when registering their children for UNC Charlotte’s Camps on Campus program – the Niner Character Promise.

In an effort to enhance the program’s culture of friendship, inclusion and good citizenship, the Camps on Campus staff members created the Niner Character Promise. This new honor code encourages participants to treat fellow campers and staff with kindness, respect and cooperation in their words and actions; to seek help from others in resolving conflicts; and to respect the property of the University and others.

The Office of Extended Academic Programs offers numerous training opportunities. Discounts of approximately 50 percent are available for UNC Charlotte faculty and staff. For more information, call 704-687-8900 or email ceregistration@uncc.edu.

The next Continuing Education Brown Bag Series “Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Cultivating Your Inner Strength” will be from noon to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 4, at UNC Charlotte Center City.
