Be a “super-wiser” supervisor
By Kurt Borgaard, Training Services
Do you have what it takes to be an effective supervisor at WYDOT? Great news! WY Supervise is a structured and formal new supervisor program. It is designed to prepare new supervisors and emerging leaders with the knowledge and organizational skills needed to successfully lead other employees at WYDOT.
WY Supervise is required for all new supervisors at WYDOT. Additionally, based upon available program seats, WY Supervise is a voluntary opportunity for existing supervisors and WYDOT employees interested in moving into a supervisory position to accelerate their supervisory know-how.
How do you become a part of WY Supervise? First, make sure you’ve been assigned or have registered for the WY Supervise learning plan and then register for an upcoming cohort.
