Being a supervisor presents numerous challenges and opportunities! In today’s new work environment, you are expected to meet organizational goals with the people you supervise. We need to build resilience and flexibility to adapt to uncertainty and the constant change around us. The Cabrillo College Supervisory Academy is a 8-week program designed to help you develop your skills and become a better supervisor. Supervisors are now managing employees in person and/or remotely, therefore, better people management and clear communication are essential skills. Through each course, you will learn the tools, tips, techniques that will bring success in your interactions and build trust in your relationships.
 
Each course is designed to stand on its own and be of value. However, attending the entire 8-week program provides depth on a variety of topics that come together to provide a holistic strategy and process to the supervisory experience.
