View SSDP Schedule
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.
What are the Supervisory Skills and Development Program Requirements?
All eight courses offered in SSDP are required for completion of the program. Each course is a 7-hour training session. A plaque will be awarded recognizing successful completion of program requirements.
