New Professional Development Pathways workshops for supervisors coming this month

51社区鈥檚 Professional Development Pathways program is pleased to announce a new series of supervisory skills workshops. The Foundations of Supervision workshop series is an interactive, in-person series of six workshops focusing on fundamental knowledge and skills that form the foundation for effective supervision.

The first workshop, 鈥淭ransition to Supervision鈥, opens on Feb. 27, and explores a variety of topics that are particularly relevant for new or aspiring supervisors, such as developing new skills, challenging and managing perceptions, navigating the legal landscape, locating resources and assistance, and discussing the numerous challenges often faced by supervisors.

Future workshops in the series will also include topics such as: 

  • Credibility and Trust
  • Listening to and Supporting Your Team
  • Setting and Managing Expectations
  • Delegating and Monitoring Work
  • Handling Conflict and Difficult Conversations

Workshops are scheduled for 2.5 hours. Participation is open to all full-time and part-time regular staff and faculty. Registration is required, and enrollment will be capped at 24 participants per workshop. There are no prerequisites, and participants are not required to attend every workshop in the series. 

Participants are asked to discuss the workshop with their supervisor and get approval prior to registering. New supervisors, or those aspiring to a supervisory role, are highly encouraged to attend.

. Registration deadline is Friday, Feb. 23.

Contact Lewis Mangen, Director Talent and Organizational Development or Michael Greene, Learning and Development Administrator, with questions.
