Master Occupancy Management
Courses are now open for ACUHO-I’s Certificate in Occupancy Management program. The two courses and one capstone project (required to receive the certificate, but otherwise optional) prepare participants to understand the occupancy management process at a strategic level and also teach them how to implement critical operations and practices. The courses describe how to collect and manage data, make educated predictions, and be well suited to navigate the overall occupancy process. Also, beneficial, real-world examples help to inform and teach participants as they learn what questions to ask and what factors to consider. The first course (though they can be taken in any order) is called “Assess and Define Occupancy Management Policies and Procedures.” Course material will address how to identify and interpret external laws as well as internal goals and policies. Plus, it will outline available strategies to align those factors with demand and inventory. The second course, “Administer Occupancy Management Operations,” addresses the activities involved in the application and assignment process, while also describing other operational practices utilized throughout the process. More information regarding pricing and learning outcomes can be found at http://bit.ly/occupancumgt.
