Program Description: This program provides knowledge and skills in order to improve students' approaches to supervision. This program also prepares students for advancement in their chosen career areas as a supervisor in both public and private sector settings.
Supervisors hold important and responsible positions in any business or organization. Sometimes called "middle management," supervisors are often responsible for interviewing, hiring, and training employees, as well as preparing work schedules, and dealing with customer complaints. Depending on the business, supervisors may also handle purchasing, budgeting and accounting. While specific responsibilities vary with the type and size of the business or organization, supervisors must all demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills. In order to be effective, they need to be able to write well and communicate clearly with employees as well as with upper management. Supervision is often part of a career path toward higher level management positions.
The Ventura College Supervision Certificate prepares individuals for supervision positions in any industry, including the nonprofit and government sectors. Courses include Organization and Management, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, Exercise in Management Decision Making, Business Communications, Business English and Marketing.
