About the Program:
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.

Unit Descriptions:
 
Unit 1: Leadership and Motivation | September 11
In this session, you will learn about the value of effective supervision while improving your ability to lead and motivate others.
 
Unit 2: Communications | September 12
In this session, you will gain knowledge of skills that you will need in today's construction environment in order to be an effective communicator on your job site.
 
Unit 3: Planning and Scheduling | October 2 & 3
In this session, you will learn ways in which planning and scheduling saves your team both time and money, while increasing quality in the construction process and the overall finished product.
