Stepping Up To Supervisor
- Program Requirements
Stepping
Up to Supervisor is an eight-session program designed to enhance the skills of
emerging or newly emerged supervisors and managers. The reward for hard work and
mastering an individual’s job may be a promotion into a supervisory position.
The accompanying responsibilities are sometimes overwhelming. This program is
designed to address the concerns of aspiring and newly promoted supervisors, as
well as those supervisors who work continually to update their skills..
The class sessions will begin in the Spring of 2009. These
half-day sessions are designed to cover the “nuts and bolts” of being a
supervisor. Coursework, discussions, role-playing and experiential exercises
contribute to the mastery of the material. You must commit to attend each of
these sessions, as a comprehensive agenda of effective supervisory techniques
will be addressed. A timeline follows for dates and topics, allowing you to
assess your ability to commit to the entire program.
The Stepping Up to Supervisor program will be facilitated by
Nancy Penry, Coordinator of Training and Continuing Education at UHV, with assistance from Ron Klinger,
(Training and Development Specialist) and Katherine Justice (Executive Director of Human Resources and Affirmative Action at the University of Houston Clear Lake) and Laura Smith, Director of Human Resources and Affirmative Action at the University of Houston-Victoria.
For
maximum effectiveness, the program is limited to 15 participants. This is a self
application process, and completed does not guarantee acceptance into the
program. Employees interested must submit an application form with the
approval of their immediate supervisor.
Applications for participation in the Spring 2009 Stepping Up to Supervisor
program are due by noon, January 9, 2009. Selected participants will be
notified by January 16, 2009.
