Supervisor Pathways is designed to provide Auburn University Supervisors with meaningful knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to be an effective manager and a developer of others.

The Pathways program includes a range of classes designed with AU in mind. Classes are free and open to all faculty and staff over a multi-year schedule.

To “complete the path”, participants will work their way through five phases which include a Supervisor Orientation. Supervisor Pathway’s first phase includes a one-day training covering topics from Campus Relations to Payroll, to Compensation. The afternoon will include MG400: Management Fundamentals. Phase 2 is divided into two parts. Part 1 classes should be taken within the first six months of becoming a supervisor and Part 2 classes should be taken before the first year of supervising. Phases 3 through 5 continue supervisor development with classes in human resources, teamwork, management, and office administration. WHAT IF I’M NOT A SUPERVISOR?

Employees who aspire toward a supervisory role work toward Supervisor Pathways completion at their own pace and complete classes in any order. There is no time limit for aspiring supervisors to complete the path.

All classes are Instructor-led unless noted with an “e”. The “e” classes are online and can be taken 24/7.
