Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport’s newest supervisors participated in a virtual version of NAVSEA’s Propel course hosted by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock in November. Propel, a five-day course for new first-line supervisors at all NSWC and NUWC divisions and NAVSEA headquarters, provides a basic awareness of warfare center expectations and allows each participant to reflect on their own leadership style while learning best practices from more seasoned supervisors. The curriculum is balanced between team management skills and warfare center-specific training topics and concludes with team Capstone presentations.
Usually held in person at a rotating host warfare center, this latest Propel course was conducted via Microsoft Teams because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
