Dos & Don’ts of being an organization supervisor 

Your offered apprenticeship should be positive, educational and resourceful. Some “Dos” include:

● Create an evaluation process that tracks your apprentice’s progress

● Have consistent and effective communication with your apprentice

● Have checks and balances among the management team to create effective conflict resolution

● As a reminder, a quality apprenticeship provides  hands-on high level experience. The apprenticeship should go beyond mundane tasks and reflect a practical work

experience.

● Stick to the job description that’s advertised

● Offer insight and ask questions

● Be transparent

● Over-communicate to ensure everyone is on the same page

● Find ways to meet your apprentice in the middle (especially with training/teaching and

being open minded to different learning methods)

● Hold each other accountable by setting deadlines and asking questions for clarity

● Be empathetic and kind
