CORE SUPERVISORY TRAINING PROGRAM

The Personnel Department is committed to empowering supervisors to confidently lead and manage their teams. The purpose of the Core Supervisory Training Program is to develop and refine the core skills needed to supervise employees effectively, as well as to mitigate employer liability. Departments will nominate employees who hold a first-line to management-level supervisory position and would benefit by participating in Core. Each cohort is taught by a cadre of trainers who are subject matter experts in their areas of instruction. The program currently consists of five half-day sessions held live on the Zoom platform in addition to some online coursework. The following topics are covered throughout the program:
