We asked Liz Hendren, Assistant Transportation Manager at East Metro garage, about her recent completion of the Supervisor Certificate classes. She stated the classes “made me feel re-energized” and shared her overall learning experience.
“The classes in the Supervision Certificate were very beneficial to me and they helped me develop as a supervisor. We learned some foundational concepts for improving communication and strengthening relationships with others. I developed important skills to address issues with performance and giving corrective and positive feedback. I strongly recommend these classes to anyone whether you are new in a supervisory role or a seasoned supervisor or manager. There’s something there for everyone.”
If you are a supervisor or manager with direct reports, enroll now! Take individual classes of interest or pursue the Supervision Certificate. For details, view the Supervision flyer (PDF) on MetNet.

Flu shot clinics scheduled for September
Getting your seasonal flu shot will be especially important this fall during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year we’re offering flu shot clinics at many Met Council sites in September. Review the flu shot schedule and mark your calendars (PDF). Onsite employees do not need to schedule an appointment; simply stop by during the scheduled time to get your flu shot.
Wearing a mask is required at these flu shot clinics and will be provided if you don’t have one.
Employees who are teleworking should not drive to a site for these flu shot clinics. Instead, employees not working onsite can schedule a flu shot appointment at either of the Well@Work clinics, or through their regular clinic or convenience clinics, where flu shots are free to anyone enrolled in a medical plan.
As part of our self-care and resiliency programming, Fit For Life is please to bring back Parent Education Training, an eight-week series with certified parent coach Samantha Moe.
In this online, interactive training, you will learn step-by-step guidance to handle strong-willed, spirited, even explosive behaviors. Get real-time support from a certified parent coach. This program is for employees with children between the ages of 3 to 13 years old.
Parents will leave feeling equipped with positive tools to transform challenging childhood behavior through learning:
-
Brain science beneath children’s behaviors
-
The Eight Pillars of Parenting that are critical to creating a peaceful home
-
Active assignments each week to use at home
Wednesdays, Sept. 29 through Nov. 17
Note: There are 15 employee spots available and employee spouses can participate with their own email/screen or share with registered employee.
This program is voluntary and on your own time.
Human Resources and the Office of Equal Opportunity have partnered to bring the Ability Internship Program to the Met Council in the summer of 2022. This is a 12-week pilot internship program designed to increase the Met Council's internship opportunities for people with disabilities.
The program will help create a connection with talent around our region and expand the Met Council's employment opportunities for people with disabilities who have a skill set that aligns with agency requirements. The pilot program will provide access to inclusive internship positions that will provide support to management as well as unique, individualized opportunities for interns to gain marketable and transferable skills.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Luis Martinez, Human Resources, or Guthrie Byard, Office of Equal Opportunity.
