Supervisory Skills Certificate Program

The Supervisory Skills Certificate Program has been developed to help new managers and supervisors learn and apply good management principles in their work groups. Using a variety of proven instructional techniques, this twelve week course series builds the essential knowledge and skill that supervisors and managers must possess to be successful both in today's workplace and in the future.

Discussion and exercises are geared for leaders in any stage of their careers - from the new supervisor who needs a basic foundation to the tenured manager who simply needs a refresher. SDEA welcomes hundreds of participants through this workshop series annually.

We recognize success by the repeat business of companies sending leaders through the program. Every participant who satisfactorily completes the course will receive a personalized certificate.

Courses are held from 5:00 to 8:00pm each Tuesday evening at the SDEA Learning Center. The cost per participant is $800 for SDEA members and $1075 for non-members.

Though good attendance is stressed, if a program participant is unable to attend one or several of the courses for a valid reason, they may make them up during the next semester. Attendance at all courses is required to receive the certificate.

The course consists of 12 classes, some of which are not offered individually:

INTRODUCTION, INTERVIEWING BY EXAMPLE, NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION, LEADERSHIP, LEADING IN A TIME OF CHANGE, EMPLOYMENT LAW, COMMUNICATION, TIME MANAGEMENT & DELEGATION, COACHING & COUNSELING, RESOLVING CONFLICT, PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS, REPRIMAND, DISCIPLINE & DISCHARGE

By taking advantage of this amazing program, your organization will save considerably - get 12 courses bundled for the price of 7, if you're a member and 9 if you're are a non member! And once completed your supervisor will receive a personalized certificate. With workforce training, your organization will be filled with tomorrow's leaders.
