The Certified Public Manager (CPM) program provides in-depth, comprehensive leadership development and training to middle managers and statewide program directors in North Carolina’s government agencies and universities.  A graduate of the CPM program earns the Certified Public Manager designation, which is recognized by a Consortium of over 30 states and public sector entities. 

Each year 72 participants are selected by their agencies and universities to enroll in the program.  They complete the Management Development and Planning Workshop, followed by 8 courses – one every other month – over 18 months.   The class work is followed by a final project, which applies and demonstrates the concepts learned to a problem or service improvement opportunity in the participant’s work unit.
