Supervisor Academy: The goal of this project is to develop and implement a structured, role-specific training and support program for supervisors within the Children’s Division. This program will equip supervisors with the leadership skills, tools, and knowledge necessary to effectively manage staff, support frontline operations, and carry out organizational initiatives. By strengthening supervisory capacity, we aim to improve staff support, enhance service delivery, and foster a more resilient and effective workforce.
Scope
- Curriculum Development: Create and refine a comprehensive supervisor training curriculum, including evaluations and supporting resources.
- Pilot Implementation: Conduct a pilot of the training program, gather feedback, and make necessary adjustments.
- Train-the-Trainer: Prepare the Training Unit to deliver the program consistently across the organization.
- Full Implementation: Roll out the Supervisor Academy across the Children’s Division, monitor effectiveness, and provide ongoing support and resources.
