Saratoga Chamber and Empire State University Relaunch Management Program

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Empire State University, announced last week the relaunch of the Saratoga County Institute of Management (SCIM). This program, designed for emerging or new managers, provides the essential skills and strategies needed to thrive in today’s workplace.

SCIM offers new accelerated six-week programs that not only sharpen technical and soft skills but also address some of the most common challenges faced by new managers. Participants will walk away with strategies to boost team dynamics, improve communication, and engage in effective leadership after track one. Track two covers a more tactical skill set, with a curriculum designed to cover finance, legal, human resource, and resource management. 

“The Saratoga County Institute of Management reflects our commitment to cultivating management excellence across all sectors of our economy,” said Todd Shimkus, president of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, in a news release. “SCIM is an incredible opportunity for local organizations to invest in their greatest asset—their people.”

The SCIM program was originally launched as a pilot program prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
