Ohio University’s Professional Development Pathways program is pleased to continue its series of supervisory skills workshops. The Foundations of Supervision workshop series is an interactive, in-person series of six workshops focusing on fundamental knowledge and skills that form the foundation for effective supervision.

Future workshops in the series will include topics such as: 

• Setting and Managing Expectations
• Delegating and Monitoring Work
• Handling Conflict and Difficult Conversations
