About the Supervisory Skills Certificate Program
In today’s workplace, individuals are often promoted to supervisory responsibilities because they have developed technical expertise in their positions. However, they are often unable to effectively supervise their workforce. This certificate program has been developed to train new or inexperienced supervisors in the interpersonal aspects of supervision, and to help or assist established supervisors to advance their skills.
