It blends web-based training and classroom sessions to teach management concepts in real-world situations. The four units are offered throughout the year and cover the following topics: policies and resources every supervisor needs, how to delegate work and set objectives, how to know the characteristics of people to lead them more effectively, and how to overcome barriers to communication related to gender, cultural background and unconscious bias. The classes are mandated for newly appointed supervisors and managers, but they are open to all.
