Take advantage of the leadership opportunity
The HCM Employee Experience team is accepting applications for the spring 2025 cohort of Foundations of Leadership for Aspiring Leaders, a leadership development program for central team members hosted in partnership with the Naveen Jindal School of Management at The University of Texas at Dallas. The Foundations of Leadership program is a learning opportunity for aspiring Dallas ISD central team members in professional positions interested in growing their leadership capacity.
The cohort will engage in learning modules, discussions, and projects aligned to the central performance evaluation domains—Shaping Culture, Developing Talent, Driving Impact, and Engaging Stakeholders—and focused on the Leader of Others indicators.
