DHR is currently redesigning our micro-learning and on-demand course offerings. Due to this, we have paused on scheduling upcoming micro-learning module sessions. Please check our website in the Spring of 2024 for updates.
DHR’s Micro-Learning Modules series consist of several 60 minute, “just in time” training courses. Modified from DHR’s three-day Supervisory Academy training, this series is the perfect fit for busy supervisors who need quick and meaningful tips on best practices for a variety of supervisory skills. Supervisory Academy graduates can also attend to keep their skills current and review redesigned modules for a helpful refresher.
*All class times are in Mountain Standard Time.
