Training Opportunities

IMPORTANT - READ FIRST:

To enroll in this program, you must review the program catalog and complete the application form completely. Applications will be available here starting Monday, February 10, 2025 through Friday, February 21, 2025.  Note that the application form requires you to obtain supervisor approval before it will be considered complete. In the Spring, there will be one system-wide cohort available for the program running on Thursdays. Each cohort will include 50 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.

Thursdays Cohort Dates are from 9AM - 11:30 on the following:  March 27^th, April 10^th, April 17^th, April 24^th, and May 1^st at UNT System BSC 4202 A/B.

A vital contributor to our organization'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 system-wide. The intended outcome of this program is to continually develop supervisory skills that have a positive impact on our employees, students, and the greater community. Those who commit to this program and its requirements enjoy the honor of calling themselves an “Accountable Supervisor”.

Program Objectives:

• Provide supervisors with focused and critical skills applicable to any level, expertise, or service time.
• Encourage the ongoing learning and development of our 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 as a member of our Accountable Supervisor Community (ASC). 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.

If you would like clarification on the AccoUNTable Supervisor Program and its requirements, please email the cohort you are interested in to Human Resources at HRAdministration@untsystem.edu.
