SUPERVISOR DEVELOPMENT


Supervisors lead people and manage processes. Departments and units with skilled and knowledgeable supervisors strengthen the University as a whole. Great supervisors develop their faculty and staff so that they can better fulfill the mission of UGA and meet the grand challenges of our time.

 

SUPERVISORY FUNDAMENTALS 

  • Open to faculty and staff currently employed at the University of Georgia, the Certificate in Leadership & Supervision, hosted by Learning & Development in the Division of Human Resources, is intentionally crafted to provide aspiring and current supervisors with developmental coursework, resources, and networking opportunities to enhance their supervisory and leadership capacity within their organization
  • The Certificate in Leadership & Supervision is designed for participants to complete at their own pace, blending a menu of Core and Elective requisite course offerings to enhance supervisor and leadership skills. Courses will have varied offerings throughout the academic year due to instructor availability and capacity
  • Register for CLS: (Core) Foundations of Supervision@UGA and more via Professional Education Portal (PEP)

 

THE UGA SUPERVISORS' ACADEMY  

The UGA Supervisors Academy is currently getting a refresh and is expected to relaunch in 2025. 

Sharpen the tools you gained in Supervisory Fundamentals and take your team from good to great! The UGA Supervisors’ Academy is a cohort-based program that provides a professional network of other supervisors navigating similar situations whose advice is rooted in knowledge of UGA’s policies, guidelines, and procedures.

The cohort will meet over seven sessions to discuss and learn crucial aspects of supervising: managing self, managing culture, managing teams, and managing change. Program fee is $100/participant to cover materials and assessment cost.

Participants must:

(a) Be a current UGA supervisor, and

(b) Have completed the Supervisory Fundamentals program or the previous Certificate in Supervisory Excellence
