State Supervisory Training

According to NAC 284.498 regarding training of supervisory and managerial employees:

1. Within six months after an agency initially appoints an employee to a supervisory position or managerial position, the employee shall attend a training class concerning the evaluation of the performance of employees;
2. Within 12 months after an agency appoints an employee to a supervisory position or managerial position, the employee shall attend at least one training class in each of the following areas:
   1. Equal employment opportunity
   2. Interviewing and hiring
   3. Alcohol and drug testing
   4. Progressive disciplinary procedures
   5. Handling of grievances
   6. Evaluating Employee Performance

It is required that the above mandatory classes must be taken through State of Nevada training. You must have a personal account in the Nevada Employee Action and Timekeeping System (NEATS) to view classes and to register. See the directions on setting up an account in NEATS.

Mandatory State of Nevada training may be offered at designated times and places to Nevada System of Higher Education employees via workshops or videoconferences. TMCC employees will be notified by e-mail of the availability of these trainings and registration information.

All TMCC employees must attend sexual harassment prevention training within six months of being appointed to state service and attend a refresher course every two years thereafter.

Also within three years supervisors and managers must attend at least 40 hours of training to enhance their supervisory skills. The mandatory supervisory classes noted above are included as part of the 40 hours of training.

For every three-year period after the initial three year period, a supervisor or manager must attend at least 40 hours of training to enhance their supervisory skills. Such training must include at least two of the training classes described above in NAC 284.498 sections (a) and (b) above.

The State of Nevada supervisory classes are offered through the State Department of Employment and Training and can be accessed through NEATS. Supervisory training hours that count toward the 40 hours are also offered at TMCC in modules as part of the supervisory support series.

Several other options for training for TMCC supervisors are available. TMCC's Workforce Development and Continuing Education offers online courses through the ACT Center. UNR offers supervisory training through their professional development and training department. View their schedule at the UNR Training Calendar.
