Program Details
PASS is designed to help new and aspiring supervisors build confidence and capability through practical, applied learning. The program emphasizes turning supervisory concepts into real-world practice participants can immediately use with their teams.
Key elements:
- Live, facilitator-led sessions with active participation
- Practical tools and simulations focused on day-to-day supervision
- Guided reflection and between-session learning exercises
- Peer discussion and learning with other new supervisors
Participant Commitment
To complete the program & receive the PASS certificate, participants must:
- Commit to ~3 hrs/wk for 6 weeks
- Attend first & last sessions
- Not miss more than one content session
- Complete required learning exercises
Supervisor Support
Supervisor engagement plays an important role in helping participants apply what they learn in PASS to their day-to-day supervisory work. While no financial endorsement is required, supervisors are encouraged to actively support learning and growth throughout the program.
Supervisors are asked to:
- Set expectations early by discussing learning goals and how PASS aligns with the participant’s current or upcoming supervisory responsibilities
- Check in periodically to discuss key takeaways and how new skills can be applied on the job
- Reinforce learning by connecting program themes to ongoing feedback, coaching conversations, and performance goals
- Encourage practice and reflection as participants build confidence in their supervisory role
This partnership helps ensure learning translates into meaningful, sustainable leadership growth.
