Saratoga County Institute of Management Enrolling for 2026

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Empire State University, announced on Monday the return of its Saratoga County Institute of Management program.

Designed for emerging or new managers, the program is organized into two six-week tracks that are designed to rapidly enhance skillsets and complement each other.

Track One focuses on foundational skills, including self-awareness, communication, conflict resolution, and leadership strategies to help participants transition from individual contributors to effective team leaders.

Track Two centers on advanced managerial competencies—such as talent recruitment and retention, performance management, strategic planning, leading change, and financial acumen—to expand participants’ strategic impact and organizational leadership.

Participants have the option to enroll in one or both tracks, as Track One is not a prerequisite for Track Two.

The SCIM program was initiated as a pilot before the COVID-19 pandemic, then relaunched in 2025.

Enrollment is now open. Scholarships are available to support small businesses and impact sector organizations. Each class size is limited to ensure a personalized experience.
