Supervision Certificate Program - April 1 Cohort

This event has ended.


Learn effective strategies for supervision and gain practical tools to support your team in just 4 weeks.

Overview

All too often in higher education, individuals move into a supervisory role without the necessary tools and skills to be successful. Particularly in today’s challenging environments, effective supervision is key to building an equally effective culture where each individual can contribute to team success.

Join us online for a four-week bootcamp specifically designed for higher education supervisors who are new to their roles or looking to deepen their skills.

Who should attend?

This program is primarily designed for those managing professional and/or student staff. If you are new to your role or want to hone your existing supervisory skills and approaches, this course is for you.
