CIWIB offers management training program

About

The Cape Area Management Program (CAMP) was established by the Cape and Islands Workforce Investment Board (CIWIB) through a three year state grant. This fall we will begin the final two training sessions in the Mid and Lower Cape regions. CAMP is a cross sector training program targeting management occupations on the Cape and Islands. Industries such as hospitality, retail, health care, real-estate, financial services, human services, public administration, construction and the arts can join the program. Graduates earn four college credits from the National Graduate School, and a certificate of completion. To date 97 Cape Cod employees from over 24 businesses and organizations from Bourne to Provincetown successfully completed the program.

Management Training

80 hour training includes lecture and practice in the following areas:

• First-Line Supervisor/ General Management
• Teams/Team Work
• Effective Project Management/Getting
• Continuous Quality Improvement

4 module training cycle led by faculty from The National Graduate School of Quality Management (NGS), a Falmouth-based institution of higher learning.

Peer to Peer Practicum led by Ernie Oliveira, Founder and President of DEO Associates. The goal of the practicum is to have the attendees practice their newly learned skills in a safe environment while getting ongoing support from a business consultant with proven expertise.

Many employers promote good employees into management positions but do not have the resources to train them in management practices. The Cape Area Management Program (CAMP) was developed to fill this gap, and thereby decrease employee turnover, increase efficiency, improve customer and employee satisfaction, and enhance manager’s leadership skills. Over the course of this three year grant, the Cape and Islands Workforce Investment Board hopes to train more than 150 supervisors and managers in the basics of practical management, team work, project management and continuous quality improvement. Each training module is comprised of lecture and discussion with a peer to peer practicum (practice new skills, share best practices, addressing real time problems). Students learn, develop and practice skills in guiding, coaching and developing their employees, performance assessment, conflict management, team development, consensus building, project and time management, and quality improvement. Career coaching is also offered to all participants to assist them in thinking strategically about their career and continuing training needs.
