The educational facilities workplace has been transformed in recent years by a variety of forces.  Intense competition, advancing technology, changing values, and a global economy have created new possibilities as well as challenges.  This transformation is changing the nature of management and the roles of supervisors.

Supervisors must develop a systematic approach toward organizing, managing, motivating, and meeting customer expectations.  The traditional role of the supervisor/manager is no longer adequate. The new business environment demands leadership.

Why Supervisor's Toolkit?
Supervisor's Toolkit has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the facilities management professional.  It is a structured, open-ended, and pragmatic approach to developing supervisors.  It is not so much a teaching program as a development process, designed to help supervisors realize both personal and professional growth. The program is designed for a full week of training.

Cost
This unique program, taught by Master and Qualified Trainers, is tailored specifically toward the education facilities professional.
