Supervisory Training
In order to assist Supervisors with completing the SuperVision training modules, changes have been made to the program.
- Ten half-day modules instead of five full days
- Classes scheduled on various days
- The new format allow the participant to register and cancel their attendance to fit their individual needs via myUK.
Introduction
At times, supervisors come into positions having already developed strong skills through formal education or experience. At the University of Kentucky, opportunities are provided for a supervisor to add to previously acquired skills and knowledge.
University SuperVision is a training program designed by HR Training & Development especially to equip supervisors with the skills and knowledge to manage people and function effectively. It is the most comprehensive, work-oriented supervisory training program ever offered at the University.
If you are employed at Chandler Hospital, please visit the Learning Center website for information regarding HealthCare Supervision.
Goals
