Supervisor Development at CU Boulder

Supervisors play a vital role in the success of the university’s mission

In addition to managing tasks, supervisors are responsible for engaging and retaining employees, building team culture, and supporting the growth and development of their employees.

The role of a supervisor is to lead people, facilitate employees’ professional goals, and provide support and training. Human Resources supervisor development tracks provide the knowledge and skills for supervisors to be effective in their roles and encourage them to complete recommended training. Supervisors are invited to explore the three learning journeys and identify the professional development opportunities best suited for them. 

  We recommend that everyone start with Learning Journey 1, especially if you are a new supervisor, or new to CU Boulder.

  If you have completed all of the courses in Learning Journey 1, feel free to move to Learning Journey 2. If you have taken all the courses in 2, move to Learning Journey 3.

  You do not need to take the courses listed under each Journey in a specific order. You may take the trainings in any order you wish. We recommend you register for the trainings that would be the most timely and applicable for your role and department.

 

 

Learning Journey 1: Establishing your foundation as a supervisor
Learning Journey 2: Building your management capacity
Learning Journey 3: Advancing your leadership for greater impact

Specializing your expertise

These additional courses listed below support timely professional development and effectiveness in specific areas such as inclusion, engagement, and productivity. These are directed toward all levels of the organization, including individual contributors.
