Supervisory Skills Program
The Supervisory Skills program is a curated series of
competency-based classes that provide front-line supervisors with the core
skills necessary to lead teams within State agencies. The course curriculum has
been designed for both first-time supervisors with limited experience in
leading teams, as well as seasoned leaders with many years of supervisory
experience.
The classes are participant-centered, interactive, and
encourage full participation. They offer a combination of theory, techniques,
and applied practice. The program is made up of eight separate classes – each
investigating the skills and tactics of a particular leadership competency. It
is recommended that participants consider taking Foundations of Supervisory
Leadership first. Subsequent classes can be taken in any order.
The Office of Employee Development runs the Supervisory
Skills series of classes repeatedly each month throughout the year – allowing
participants the maximum flexibility in scheduling their learning. Participants
can participate in either in-person, classroom-based learning; or
virtual-learning via MS Teams. (Please note a camera is strongly preferred to
participate in classes on MS Teams; participants can use the conference number provided if they do not have a microphone.)
Designed as a pre-cursor to the Management Academy and
Nevada Certified Public Manager (CPM) program, Supervisory Skills is a key
element in the State’s commitment cultivating a workforce of proficient and
skilled public sector leaders.
Supervisors are encouraged to become acquainted with the
class descriptions by accessing them via their learning tile on Success
Factors, the State’s employee portal.
