Colorado LTAP manages three different training programs. The Supervisory Skills and Development Program (SSDP) started in the fall of 2001. SSDP is designed to help educate, prepare, and provide public works employees with the background necessary to comfortably and confidently perform in a supervisory position. The courses chosen are intended to provide a fundamental understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a supervisor and to develop tools for succeeding in management.
