Training Opportunities

IMPORTANT - READ FIRST:

To enroll in this program, you must review the program catalog and complete the application form completely. You can find this application form at the following link: APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR SPRING. Note that this form requires you to obtain supervisor approval before it will be considered complete. The cohort will include 40 members and we will retain a waitlist (cohorts run once each long semester). 

Those selected for the program will receive a direct e-mail. By completing this form, you are verifying that you have read the asp program catalog in its entirety (including the required in-person program dates) and you have received supervisor approval to participate fully in the program. You will be held accountable for all requirements and dates listed within the program catalog. These requirements will NOT be reviewed again within any individual session, so please review carefully.

Program Dates are from 2 - 4 PM on the following:  February 13^th, February 29^th, March 21^st, April10^th, and April 30^th

Please note: Participation in New Supervisor Orientation (our existing UNT System-partnered, training and development program directed toward new supervisors) is not required in order to participate in the AccoUNTable Supervisor Program, though it would be preferable that newly hired supervisors complete New Supervisor Orientation first. E-mail ode@untsystem.edu for more information on that program.

A vital contributor to UNT’s success lies in the teamwork and the relationships between supervisors and employees. This dynamic can have a substantial impact on job engagement, individual and team performance, satisfaction, and retention.  This program will provide crucial learning and networking to all levels of supervisors as it pertains to people-first leading within the culture and context of UNT. The intended outcome of this program is to continually develop supervisory skills that have a positive impact on our employees, students, the university, and the greater community. Those who commit to this program and its requirements enjoy the honor of calling themselves a UNT “Accountable Supervisor”.

Program Objectives:

• Provide supervisors with focused and critical skills applicable to any level, expertise, or tenure.
• Encourage the ongoing learning and development of UNT’s supervisor population.
• Create a community of supervisors for networking, connection, and shared learning.

The participant's supervisor and the participant commit to the time involved for the employee to participate in the program. This will be eleven hours (11) in-person initially (within a cohort) plus eight additional hours (8) each year. Dates for the cohort sessions are found within the program catalog.

The participant's supervisor will champion their participation. The participant's supervisor will provide coaching to their employee (the participant) on what they are learning in the program.

As such, the participant must share with their supervisor the coaching tip sheet. This sheet will provide a list of all the session topics and helpful coaching questions to help build dialogue between the participant and their direct supervisor.
