This is a lecture/discussion-based class in supervisory training. Individual participation is highly recommended and encouraged. It is a comprehensive, competency-based program that gives new field managers a step-by-step approach to honing their natural abilities, developing essential skills, and generally improving their performance as leaders. Students will learn management skills in problem solving, planning, estimating, safety supervision, scheduling, controlling costs and resources, and, perhaps most important, managing people. These are skills most easily acquired through formal education. (S)
