We provide a sequential training program and conferencing services for the Georgia Chapter of the America Public Works Association (APWA).
The APWA provides a forum for the exchange of information for professional development
and to enhance quality of life through the effective delivery of services.
The Institute of Government and the Georgia chapter of the APWA provide training opportunities
in January and July of each year. Participants can earn 15 hours every January and
an additional 15 hours every July. These conferences equip public works officials
(public works directors, superintendents, water and wastewater managers, sanitation
directors, engineers, and managers in other public works related fields) with the
knowledge and skills they need to provide outstanding services to their clients in
today’s local government setting.
Participants will learn skills within the context of the local public works environment.
University faculty members deliver the leadership and management program, and qualified
public works practitioners provide the technical side of training.
Continuing education opportunities are also available.
The Certificate of Public Works Management curriculum consists of six modules, totaling
90 hours of instruction. Classes are held during the conferences each year.
