These 12 staff members have joined a list of more than 90 from the Fulton Schools who have completed the program over the past two years.   

The Emerging Supervisor Pathway program is a self-paced, semester-long training course for employees aspiring to become supervisors. With an ever-growing need for good leaders at ASU, the program was created to help those with little to no experience who hope to become leaders in their careers. Completion of this program gives participants one year of supervisory experience that prepares them for promotional opportunities at the university.  

Participants in the program gain an understanding of what it takes to be a leader at the New American University and the skill sets leaders need to succeed in working with others. They also get to meet some of their peers from their schools and other departments, so it is also a great networking opportunity.   

“It is an amazing program for anyone to take, even if they do not plan on becoming a leader,” says Pamela Brooks, senior organizational development consultant at ASU. “It will give participants an appreciation of their leaders’ responsibilities and what it takes to navigate their own careers at ASU.” 

The program is open to staff who have been at ASU for at least one year, except those who have already taken the Supervisory Development Program the ASU Professional Development office offers. Participants do not need prior supervisory experience, and those with limited experience who hope to gain a greater understanding of how to lead at ASU are encouraged to take part. Individuals in the program complete five modules online, allowing participants to progress at their own pace.  

Each module teaches topics such as human resources basics, employee engagement, communication at work, running meetings, systems awareness, performance management, difficult conversations, providing feedback and onboarding. In addition, participants take the DISC behavioral styles assessment to learn more about themselves and how to communicate and work better with different types of people.  

Applications are accepted in the first week of August for the fall semester. Applications can be found in Workday Learning when they are active. Contact Pamela Brooks at [email protected] to join the interest list for the Fulton Schools and to be notified when a new application cycle opens.
