Experts from the Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno, are leading a six-part series designed for front-line supervisors and managers–those new to the role, those needing a refresher in the core skills, those recently promoted a technical role to a supervisory role, and others interested in acquiring or refining their supervision skills.

The series begins on September 18 and takes place on six consecutive Fridays (no class on 10/16/09) from 8 am to 11 am on the university campus. Instructors for the series are Laurie Taylor-Hamm, MBA; Debbie Young, MBA; Julie Olson-Buchanan, M.A., Ph.D.; Jim Schmidtke, Ph.D.; and Ida Jones, J.D. The fee for the Certificate Award in Supervisory Skills Training: Increasing Individual Effectiveness and Impacting Organizational Results is $595 for all six classes. Enrollment is for the entire series; registration for individual class sessions is not available.
