Supervisors Skills Course
Course Description:
This online, interactive course explores the role of the IPS supervisor. We provide guidance on honing supervisory skills that lead to satisfied, productive staff who share a common vision to continually improve program performance and job seeker outcomes. We explore techniques to engage key stakeholders (e.g., agency leadership, vocational rehabilitation leaders, and other partners) to leverage their support for full implementation of IPS programs. Instructors and participants share and discuss different ways to encourage staff to continually seek information about providing good IPS services.
