Greenville Utilities' internal leadership program, iLead, is set to begin its second year in April, and applications are due January 27th. iLead is GUC's leadership, education, and development program to help employees prepare to compete for leadership positions within GUC. Applicants must show potential for leadership abilities, community interest and involvement, and the desire to assume more leadership responsibility.

Employees can apply to the program by filling out an application, then completing an assessment and multi-step screening process, which includes an interview.

Individuals selected to participate in iLead will receive general "core curriculum" training that will last 10 months and include project management and leadership essentials, as well as assignments like a group project and attending certain meetings.

In addition to the iLead classes, participants will also have individual development plans specific to each employee's needs. This will include things like trade or professional organization activities, mentoring or job shadowing, civic organization participation, etc.
