Supervisor Certification Program

 

The Supervisor Certification Program is a program being offered by the Kansas City Metropolitan Library & Information Network (KCMLIN).  It is tailored to provide essential skills for staff currently in supervisory roles and those who are working toward this goal.  Staff who are responsible for planning, creating and justifying budgets, hiring, training, and supervising staff and developing policies will find these workshops to be invaluable.

 

To complete the Supervisor Certification Program, each participant must take a minimum of four required and six elective courses of your choice.  If you have taken courses that have been used as a part of another certification program, they cannot be used in this program as well.  You must take different selections in order to broaden your knowledge and skills.  Since all the classes in the Administrator level are "required", it is suggested that you do not take these as part of the Supervisor Certification program if you are planning on completing the Administrator Certification Program as well.

 

Please remember that these courses are not offered at all times.  As instructors come and go, course names may also be changed to reflect the request of an instructor.  If you have any questions whether a class fulfills the need of the program, please contact the KCMLIN office.  Half day workshops are worth 1/2 credit toward your completion and full day workshops are worth a full credit.
