The Organization Development & Knowledge Management Masters program is open to a new Labor Cohort of students interested in becoming effective agents of change within their unions, communities, and organizations. The focus of the program is to learn how to understand more clearly what is happening in organizations, to address issues and challenges relevant to labor representatives, and to practice new leadership skills. Graduates are prepared to find creative solutions to complex problems common to many organizations. Please note that this is a special cohort only for those affiliated with a union and participating through the National Labor College. All others should apply to the regular ODKM cohort program offered at the George Mason School of Public Policy Arlington Campus.
