Class 2, First Time Supervisor Program

Class 1, First Time Supervisor Program
Graduation December 2006
First Time Supervisor Program
Applications for the January class are no longer
being accepted.
The foundation of this program — and one of the most important factors for success — is the nomination by managers of Duke staff who have demonstrated effective leadership capabilities, good judgment, exemplary customer service and problem-solving skills in their current non-supervisory roles. The
nomination process is highly
selective because space in the program is limited to 20 participants.
The First Time Supervisor program was established in 2005 and is part of Duke's continued commitment to support staffing needs while providing professional development opportunities.
The 12-month program includes instruction in the areas of people management, financial management and budgeting, project management and other supervisory roles. Program participants will spend up to two days a month in the classroom and will also take part in coaching sessions, team projects and on-the-job stretch assignments.
Program Features
- Individual assessments and development planning to support the participant throughout the program
- Participation occurs during the staff members' regular work schedule
- Participants will be matched with supportive
mentors at Duke
