Supervisory Training Program

Collegewide Supervisory Training Program

Female staff member smiling

Introduction

The Collegewide Supervisory Training Program (STP) was established in April of 2009 based upon ongoing evaluation of the College’s Leadership Development Program (LDP) and observations from staff and administrators indicating that it would be beneficial to develop a foundational “Supervisory Training Program” (STP) for new supervisors, potential supervisors, and seasoned supervisors seeking to refresh existing skills and knowledge of College processes and procedures.  Salary Plans A, B and D employees are eligible for the Program.  The Program is preparatory in nature and does not guarantee advancement in position or supervision for any participant; nor does it guarantee future acceptance into the LDP.  A program coordinator will develop and facilitate program workshops and provide support for the presenters.  Participation in STP does not qualify for Professional Development Credit.

Program Plan

Objectives:
The Program will provide workshops to facilitate the development of supervisory skills, increase knowledge of College processes and procedures, and increase knowledge of relevant laws and regulations that affect supervisors and may potentially impact the College. 

Eligibility

Salary Plans A, B, and D employees are eligible to apply or be nominated by their supervisors for the Program.  The Program will be mandatory for new supervisors.  Participation is subject to supervisory approval. 

Evaluation

Participants will complete evaluation forms for each workshop in an ongoing effort to enhance the quality of the program and to address employee needs.  In addition, the Program Coordinator will solicit additional feedback on an “as needed” basis.

Certification

Participants will receive workshop completion certificates (workshops can be taken on an “ad hoc” basis subject to availability).  Upon successful completion of the entire program, participants will receive a program completion certificate and be recognized at the Employee Recognition Event.  Successful completion of the program requires:

  1. Attendance at all 18 core seminars (elective seminars are optional and will be labeled as such).

Roles and Responsibilities of the Program Coordinator

A program coordinator will be responsible for the overall management of the program, including, but not limited to, the development of the workshops (including working with the various presenters), preparation and distribution of workshop materials, tracking enrollment and completion data, and follow-up evaluation of workshops.  In addition, the program coordinator will provide updates to the Vice Presidents annually.
