Attendance
The cohort
program was created to provide an opportunity for new state government
managers/supervisors to quickly enhance their management practices in an
environment that fosters relationship building and facilitates
completion of all DOP-P18 requirements within one (1) year. In order to
achieve these goals it is imperative that each participant attend all
sessions. OHRD staff will be supporting attendance as they check in
with participants and provide reminders for upcoming courses. However,
if a participant is unable to attend/complete required courses within
the specified time frames, that participant may be asked to leave the
cohort and would be responsible for completing DOP-P18 requirements by
registering in OHRD's regular program schedule.
