Supervisor Training and Resources

Supervisor Toolkit

The Supervisor's Toolkit is designed to provide supervisors with resources, tools, and guidance for many of the HR issues you are involved with, and should be used in addition to the additional resources that the College provides for supervisors via the Supervisor Certificate Programs. 
Within the toolkit you will find resources for:
  • Effective Staff Recruitment and Hiring Tools
  • Employee Onboarding and Development
  • Employee Administration
The full supervisors toolkit can be found on the Human Resources Hub web page. 

Supervisor Certificate Programs


Supervisors play an important role in supporting the College’s strategic missions and contributing to their team’s development and well-being. Supervisors are expected to excel in the areas of communication, assessment, team building, conflict resolution, and customer service, among many others. As part of our ongoing strategic efforts aimed at employee satisfaction and training, the College is offering two Certificate programs, which will provide education and developmental opportunities to support our supervisors in their daily efforts. Additionally, free webinars and other educational resources will be offered through various approved providers for interested employees.
