Positioning managers and supervisors for success
Position your managers and supervisors for success with customized training and development from Custom Workforce Development.
Each training program follows a three-stage process:
The engagement begins with consultation activities to assess your organization’s current position, future goals, managerial and supervisory skills, and skill gaps. This comprehensive approach results in customized training topics and tactics that can be applied in the everyday work environment. Then, all of the criteria assessed at the start of the program are measured again at completion. ROI and ROE measurements are crucial and are embedded within the process as an integral step.
The Faculty of Extension has created a development program that meets your needs and accesses the following resources:
- A database of over 3,600 curricula
- A variety of course-delivery options tailored to your workforce’s needs (e.g., case studies, simulations, seminars)
- U of A world-class research, knowledge, and affiliates
The three-stage process in detail
We partner with you and your team to:
- Assess your company’s and your management’s training needs and challenges
- Build and deliver a custom training program tailored to your training needs
- Evaluate the program afterwards and help you measure its effectiveness against your company’s objectives
