To work as a janitor and housekeeping supervisor, you typically need to:

• have a high school diploma or equivalent; and
• have one to five years of related work experience.

Education after high school

No formal education is required beyond high school. Knowledge of a language other than English can be helpful.

Work experience

Janitor and housekeeping supervisors usually have many years of experience working as a janitor or housekeeper. This allows them to move up in their field.

On-the-job training

In some cases, employers will offer some training to new supervisors. This will depend on the employer. Training may last up to three months.
