Employees who are not supervisors, as well as those who are, are invited to enroll.
Supervisory Certificate Program
The role of supervisor is a critical one in realizing the university's mission. It comes with special responsibilities and rewards. The assignment requires a broad range of skills and a significant level of expertise. For employees who aspire to a supervisory position, preparation is important. For employees who are already supervisors and managers, developing skills is a life-long effort. Supervisors will tell you that it provides the greatest challenges and most significant rewards.The Supervisory Certificate Program is designed to give staff professional training in the key areas of leadership competencies, policies and procedures, and people skills. In this series of courses new supervisors learn a basic set of supervisory skills and tools. For the experienced supervisor, the program expands skills enabling the veteran supervisor to improve existing skills and acquire new ones demanded by an increasingly diverse workforce and changing workplace. Participants develop supervision skills including leadership, employee selection and evaluation, diversity, conflict management, communication skills, delegation, team building and change. The Supervisory Certificate Program (SCP) consists of the following courses.
Please note: Staff who completed Supervision Practices and Applications (SPA) 2003.x/a/b/c series do not need to take Change Management, Situational Leadership, and Team Development and Effective Meetings to meet the requirements for the Supervisory Certificate of Completion.
