POOL/PACT HR In-Person Attendance Policy
Participants must register for training programs in order to attend. Participants are expected to attend each session of an in-person training program in its entirety, whether a multi-day certificate program or a single-day non-certificate course. Those who miss more than one hour of a session for certificate programs, or 25% of a non-certificate course will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion (certificate programs) or certificate of attendance (non-certificate courses) until all sessions are completed in their entirety. Those who do not complete the first session of a multi-day certificate program will not be allowed to attend the other sessions until the first session is completed. In addition, participants must complete all pre-assessment and post-assessment evaluations. Failure to meet these expectations may disqualify participants from receiving a certificate of completion/attendance and continuing education units (CEUs).
Infectious Disease Requirements
Attendees exhibiting any infectious disease type symptoms (e.g., fever, shortness of breath, flu symptoms) in the 72 hours prior to the class are restricted from attending in-person sessions. Participants exhibiting any infectious disease type symptoms will be asked to leave the on-site training/meeting.
POOL/PACT HR reserves the right to postpone or convert the program to a virtual format if local infectious disease restrictions change.
Essential Management Skills in the Public-Sector Certificate Program
September 2023 - Carson City
This four-session program has been developed specifically for managers and supervisors to assist them in learning to build credibility through effective communication, time management, and performance management skills. Whether in the trenches, or just starting to manage others, this program provides a wealth of ideas, techniques, and knowledge to help manage people and projects effectively. This is an invaluable opportunity for participants to learn proven techniques to make them effective leaders in their organizations.
Participants will need to be available to attend all four sessions. Completion of all sessions is required to earn a certificate. Participants will receive a comprehensive training manual that can be used during and after the course.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who is currently in a management/supervisory role or will be promoted to a management/supervisory role within three months of completion of the program.
Note: If not currently in or imminently going into a management/supervisory role, POOL/PACT HR's one-day training, "So, You Want to be a Supervisor?" may be a more appropriate class.
