Manager Certification Program Supervisor Nomination Site 2026

The Learning and Development team is excited to offer a self-paced, customizable Manager Certification Program which includes a core curriculum and a set of elective courses. Leading others requires individuals to acquire and grow a new set of skills and abilities. The courses in this program have been chosen to provide leads, supervisors, managers, and individuals looking to move into one of these roles with foundational tools to help them be successful. Developing as a leader goes beyond attending formal courses. Research shows that leadership potential is developed three distinct ways: 1) on-the-job (OJT) work experience, 2) coaching/mentoring from the person's supervisor and/or other key individuals, and 3) formal classroom/virtual training.

A good manager must be able to handle a variety of situations. The courses in this program range in competencies and topics that will help a manager navigate these situations. The courses can be taken in any order and as time permits and approved by the individual's manager/supervisor. These courses are offered on a variety of platforms, from attending instructor led courses, to on-line, through platforms such as Percipio and Zoom. The Manager Toolkit requires designated access, the date for this access will be selected during the nomination submission.
