PROGRAM INFORMATION
Successful
Management...
The Certified Public Manager (CPM) Program is a training
program built on the philosophy that the study of management can impact certain skills,
attitudes, and behaviors which characterize successful management. It supports the new
belief that long-term productivity and effectiveness require careful attention to
material, financial, and human resources. The CPM Program recognizes the unique quality of
public sector management and translates state-of-the-art theory (academic side) into
practical training (applied side) for public managers. The designation, "Certified
Public Manager," is viewed as a professional rather than an academic credential
involving study, practice, application, and testing.
PROGRAM BENEFITS
