Supervision
Overview
This certificate can be taken alone or as a part of the Management Associate Degree program.
Like to manage others but need some more training officially? This certificate is intended to train students for entry-level supervisory roles within virtually all organizations that employ managers. Students will be educated in important legal matters such as proper hiring and performance management as well as softer skills such as international business cultural awareness and personal finance. Graduates will also gain skills in Microsoft Excel that could lead to a Microsoft Office Specialist Certification. Today’s supervisors have to be able to balance multiple priorities and demands, and this certificate will prepare students for those pressures while enabling graduates to make a difference in the lives of the people they manage.
