Managerial and Leadership Development
Explore resources available for the learning and development of managers and supervisors at UC San Diego.
Recognizing that the learning and training needs of a supervisor adjust and shift over time, Campus Human Resources offers an approach to managerial and supervisory development that is organized by “Subway Stops.” Each Subway Stop includes specific resource options according to the different stages of managerial development and reflects the diverse range of skills for each stage. In sharing these resources we aim for all managers and supervisors to have access to resources when they need them while fostering connections amongst the UC San Diego supervisory community. To our supervisors and managers: We recognize and support you.
Note: We are excited to share our approach and resources to support you on your managerial journey. This content is currently under development and we encourage you to regularly review this page for updated information. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy engaging with the available resources in subway stops 2 and 3. In addition to training opportunities, access more supervisor resources around policy, compliance, mandatory employment notices, and more.
