How about " Supervised training staff to ensure high quality training."

That makes sense to me. I would probably hyphenate "high-quality" but that is debatable.

But it's not a very strong statement. Something like "Supervised training staff, ensuring development and delivery of effective training programs."

Dear Grammar Geek,

Thank you very much for your editing, but I have a problem to understand why we have to use "Supervised" at the beginning but "ensuring" not "ensured" for this sentance. Is there any Grammatic rule? Can you teach me?

It's a depending clause. I set my alarm clock, thus ensuring I would wake up in time for work. I saved all winter, thus ensuring that I would have enough money for my spring vacation. I supervised the team, ensuring they did a good job.
