School for Adult Learning
Supervisory Institute for Supervisors and Managers

For some individuals supervision is a natural. Others, to be high performance supervisors, need a blueprint. This seminar is a comprehensive, three-day knowledge- and skill-building workshop for those wanting to improve their leadership skills and management abilities.

The goal of the seminar is to help participants enhance their ability to do their best work.
