The Facilities Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program was introduced in March 2021 and the first nine program graduates have proven that leadership is achieved through continuous learning.

Collectively, LEAD Program graduates have completed 104 hours of live instruction, 87.5 hours of independent learning and countless hours of on-the-job practice applying the new skills they have gained during their program experience.

The graduates are demonstrating their leadership skills in Facilities Division Grounds, Building Services, Environmental Health & Safety, Steam Operations, Campus and Hospital Maintenance departments.
