Institutional Microprograms
Advanced, structured cohort programs delivered by seasoned managers and experts, with optional University of Sudbury recognition.
Discitus designs and delivers microprograms for institutions and large organizations that require more than one-off training. Each microprogram is a Discitus coach-approach program, built for complex environments and delivered by experienced leader-practitioners and experts.
Organizations that want formal recognition attached to institutional learning, selected programs can include an optional recognition pathway through the University of Sudbury’s Academy of Leadership and Governance, where Discitus is the exclusive corporate training provider and content creator.
Discitus delivers the training, facilitation, tools, and learning experience. University recognition is an optional credentialing pathway that can accompany Discitus delivery for eligible cohorts and completion requirements.
Discitus microprograms are designed for:
Public and parapublic institutions
Large nonprofits, foundations, and sector networks
Associations and organizations that convene leaders across institutions or nonprofit networks
Leadership pipelines, succession cohorts, and enterprise-wide capability building
Bilingual, unionized, regulated, high-accountability environments
Why Institutions Choose Discitus Microprograms?
Capacity-building first, not theory-first
Structured and mobilizing learning that puts leaders and teams on the same page with a shared language
Practical tools and “ready-to-use” solutions, including templates, frameworks, guides, and applied scenarios
Designed for real constraints, real roles, and real decisions in regulated environments
What Makes a Discitus Microprogram Different
Discitus microprograms are institutional pathways, not standalone events. Depending on the program, they include:
Cohort-based delivery to build shared accountability and a common leadership and management language
Practical Learning Groups between sessions to reinforce application in real work situations
Participant toolkits including adaptable templates and job aids
Integration mechanisms that support transfer over time and avoid “one-and-done” training
Practical exercises designed for immediate use in the workplace
