Core Skills Program
The core skills program is designed to help new and experienced supervisors review the basic skills needed for effective supervision. The program is highly interactive, with many opportunities for hands-on learning and group discussion. Participants are expected to register for the full series.
Sessions are facilitated by Human Resources experts from the University of Minnesota community.
Session topics include improving communication skills, appraising performance and managing differences.
Registration Options
The Supervisory Core is offered in two formats:
- seven half-day sessions over the course of seven weeks during the academic year
- three full-day sessions in retreat format during the summer
Both the seven-week and three-day formats cover the same material.
