I'm going to chat with their program rep.</p> <p>@Mrs. Carrot: Thanks for the recommendation. I poked around a little bit and it looks great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supervisor-or-management-classes#post-2923019 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 06:49:13 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2923019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually work in this field, though the programs I run are for federal government employees specifically. Personally, I would look outside university courses for something like this. I really highly recommend programs from the Management Center <a href="https://www.managementcenter.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.managementcenter.org/</a>. Their instructors are fantastic, their costs are half of what universities charge and they tend to focus on current and best practices in the management field. There are also a ton of courses you can take through LinkedIn Learning and Coursera (though these are typically pre-recorded/self-paced). Feel free to send me a PM if you'd like to talk more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supervisor-or-management-classes#post-2923012 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 20:47:36 +0000 winter_wonder 2923012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: one thing I might suggest is to see if you can reach out to the professor now and set up a meeting discussing what you hope to get out of the course and see if it aligns with how they are planning the course. That might also help in seeing if one or both would be a good fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supervisor-or-management-classes#post-2923008 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 18:39:09 +0000 Corduroy 2923008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm considering taking either a Management and Supervisory course (or both) at a local university. Both are during work hours for a few weeks. I don't know anyone who has taken a course like that. Everyone I know has moved up through an MBA and then complained that they didn't learn anything applicable through their MBA. I don't see myself getting an MBA at this point.</p> <p>Have you taken a specific Management or Supervisory course? I'd love to hear your thoughts or recommendations.</p> <p>My goal in taking the course would mainly be to improve my knowledge of management since I'm in a technical field, managing a technical team and I haven't studied anything like that.</p> <p>I'd like to pitch one or both to my boss, mainly asking for the time to take the course. He's retiring this year and in his plan (signed off by some but not all of management) I'll be going from individual contributor to having a dotted line team of seven in a few months and then adding another team of two at the end of the year. That will make me the leader of our group at our campus.</p> <p>Course descriptions below:</p> <p><a href="https://cpe.ucdavis.edu/section/supervisory-skills" rel="nofollow">https://cpe.ucdavis.edu/section/supervisory-skills</a></p> <p><a href="https://cpe.ucdavis.edu/course/management-development-effective-management-practices" rel="nofollow">https://cpe.ucdavis.edu/course/management-development-effective-management-practices</a> </p>
