Empower your newest supervisors with the leadership and technical capabilities required to lead teams, manage resources, and uphold performance standards from day one. Aligned with OPM’s expectations and 5 CFR 412.202 supervisory training requirements, this program helps agencies build frontline leadership capacity while reducing risk and accelerating readiness. Built as a ready-to-launch solution, this program includes Kirkpatrick Level 3 reinforcements—such as simulations, action learning, and assessments—to drive sustained, on-the-job behavior change. In an environment where new supervisors are increasingly asked to manage more without formal training, this program offers a low-lift, high-impact solution that equips frontline supervisors—the managers closest to the work—with the tools and confidence to drive consistent, accountable performance across the organization.
