Colby’s Supervisor Development Program is designed to assist supervisors of staff in gaining or enhancing skills and knowledge that will help them effectively manage people or functions. Instruction will be provided by HR, internal experts, or external consultants who have special knowledge about the selected topic and sessions will generally be one to two hours in length. Initially, the program will include on-site education sessions, which may eventually be supplemented with online or self-directed learning opportunities. Participation is for exempt (not hourly) employees actively employed as a supervisor or an interested individual contributor who oversees projects/initiatives.
