The Department of Energy (DOE) has been providing the Effective Supervision Seminar (ESS) on a regular basis since 1978. The course is primarily targeted for new, probationary DOE supervisors. Incumbent supervisors who have not had equivalent training or haven't had supervisory training for the past five years are also eligible to participate in ESS as are non-supervisory employees whose need for the training can be justified under special circumstances. The ESS program fulfills 40 hours of the 80 hours of supervisory training that is required for DOE supervisors. The course is intended to enable the participants to understand supervisory methods and techniques and to apply interpersonal skills and supervisory principles in carrying out their duties as DOE supervisors. The mandatory nature of the ESS program, when coupled with the extremely broad diversity of technical and professional occupational fields that are represented in DOE headquarters and field operations, makes the achievement of these objectives particularly challenging and rewarding.
