Essential knowledge for supervisors and managers
Expand your ability to motivate, manage and communicate. Supervisory Skills: Series I consists of five, four-hour, information-packed seminars specifically designed for supervisors and managers new to the role of managing people, or those preparing to move into supervision. Experienced supervisors and managers with little or no formal training in supervision will also benefit from this series, as well as anyone who wants a refresher in the essential tools of supervision.
Spend your mornings enhancing particular skill areas, and return to your workplace for the remainder of the day, ready to put into practice what you’ve learned that morning.
Take the entire series or take each seminar individually. If you would like to enroll in courses individually, you can find them listed on our website. This allows you the flexibility to enroll in the complete program or select the individual sessions that are most relevant to your needs.
