UCOP Supervisor Certification Program

Who

Each cohort will enroll 12-15 participants, who may either be nominated by their manager or self-nominate. Please note that manager support of the participant’s enrollment is critical for success because of the time requirements and the benefits of ongoing support in applying new skills learned.

The program has been designed for staff who already have some supervisory experience, (Generally these would be classified as Supervisor 1, Supervisor 2, Supervisor 3 or Manager 1) All participants must supervise at least one employee, be familiar with the UCOP e-appraisal system and be able to complete all components of the course as described below.

What

The program has two primary components:

  • Eight e-courses taken through the UC Learning Center will allow the participants to familiarize themselves with the principles of people management and work through self-guided exploratory activities. They will also provide continued support after the program, allowing participants to revisit topics they want to review.
  • Five facilitated cohort meetings will enhance the methodology introduced in the e-courses through discussions, group activities and skills practice in a supportive peer-to-peer environment.

Upon completion of the entire course, participants will receive a certificate acknowledging their accomplishment and be included in a recognition celebration. Past participants will also be invited to attend in order to facilitate a network of support among all attendees.

When
