Supervisory skill – or the lack of it – directly affects every company's bottom line. Money is made in the field, and STP can help you improve not only your bottom line, but the entire construction process. 
 
In this six-session course, you will gain the knowledge and skills that every supervisor must have. We'll show you how to be an effective manager of people, time, equipment, and materials, successfully supervising projects of all scopes and sizes.
