DPA Training Opportunities

The 2 below certificates are offered FREE to State employees through COE. Course descriptions and registration links below. Certificate programs are groups of classes with a common theme. Certificate programs deliver breadth and depth of knowledge through the variety of classes within the program. 

Statewide Supervisor Certificate- 

This four-day, cohort-based program is designed to prepare employee leaders operating at all levels of State government with essential skills and knowledge to become successful supervisors. Research has shown that leadership is an acquired set of skills and not something people are born with. Additionally, good leaders use what they have learned to guide their team to success. The Statewide Supervisor Certificate provides the skills and knowledge new supervisors need to know in order to be successful.

The certificate consists of classes held one day per week for one month. It is instructor-led and delivered online. Participants will be assigned homework and application activities to reinforce real-life learning. 

Session 1: Leadership Essentials

Session 2: Policies & Legal Responsibilities

Session 3: Hiring and Compensation

Session 4: Performance Management
