Supervisor Training Program (STP)
July 13 – August 6, 2020
(Virtual Classroom via ZOOM)
Foremen and Supervisors are instrumental to the success of a construction project. While they are provided with the equipment, materials, and personnel they need, they are too often left without the most important tool — the knowledge to manage, motivate and direct their workforce. STP provides valuable productivity, communication, and time management skills to help supervisors coach, connect and create a respectful workplace for their teams. Updated materials for OHS reflect working in the new environment. This course is Gold Seal accredited.
