Introduce employees and prospective leaders to the responsibilities of a supervisor and at the same time provide an opportunity to evaluate if a career in supervision is the right choice.

It builds the core skills the move demands: communication, delegation, coaching, accountability, and handling pressure, so the step up to supervisor feels confident rather than overwhelming.
