In manufacturing, the best welder, machinist or assembler is often promoted into a leadership role and expected to succeed because they were good at their previous position. In reality, the skills needed to be a manager and leader are completely different than the “hard skills” they were using to be good at their job.
Supervisor Boot Camp, powered by Frontline Training Solutions, teaches participants the practical skills they need to thrive in the world of manufacturing leadership and to successfully transition from peer to leader. Designed by experts with 30+ years of manufacturing experience, this program engages manufacturing leaders in a way few other training programs can.
What is Supervisor Boot Camp?
The two-day, intensive Boot Camp explores what it takes to do the supervisor job effectively and to share from a library of experiences that come directly from the shop floor. Participants will explore two very different complexities; what supervisors are asked to be and what they are asked to do. Key takeaways include:

Supervisor Boot Camp is for frontline supervisors, new leaders or high potential employees being trained for a management role. The content is designed with a focus on leaders in a manufacturing or similar industrial setting.
