The New Manager Curriculum is a set of courses providing foundational skills that help FAA employees transition into their new managerial role. It utilizes a combination of online education, in-classroom learning, and individual development plans to provide materials, practice new skills, and adjust leadership styles to help tackle the challenges and responsibilities of being a manager.
The curriculum is comprised of four sections that occur over a 12-month period. Mandatory requirements are fulfilled by completing a series of web-based training courses, none of which are more than 30 minutes long, prior to each of the instructor-led training courses.
