With tightening budgets and increased workloads, the skills and expertise of your existing staff and managers are a valuable resource that must be developed through practical, multi-faceted training and mentoring.

Current Styles of Training + Professional Development Aren’t Working…

It’s expensive – 1 or 2 days of in-person training can quickly swallow up your entire training budget
It doesn’t stick – With little to no follow-up and ongoing support, staff walk away with knowledge that they rarely put into practice
It’s time-consuming – Registering your department (or most of it) into full or half-day training courses means big losses for productivity and work plans
It’s inconsistent – And if only some of your staff attend the in-person training, it’ll be impossible to get the benefits of implementing what they’ve learned because there won’t be a same page for everyone to get on

If you could...

Send your newly promoted supervisor or manager through the Local Government Supervisory Essentials course so they come out with more confidence, strong leadership and team management skills, and a plan that sets them up for success in their first 90 days...
Provide continuing education to your established supervisors and managers so they can zone in on areas where they need a refresher and develop new skills to take back to the workplace...

How much would that mean to your organization when it comes to establishing a solid

leadership team and loyal employees?
