This professional public service certificate program is designed for individuals working in government or non-profit organizations. Consisting of six courses, the certificate is designed for people who want to improve managerial skills, enhance career prospects, and move into supervisory positions within the public sector. The courses cover topics such as written and oral communications skills, computer skills, managerial methods with emphasis on organizational behavior, public budgeting and financial administration, and providing customer service using various media. Because courses apply directly to degree programs in public administration and business administration at The University of Maine at Augusta, as well as others, the certificate is suitable for persons who wish to work toward an associate or baccalaureate degree.
Students must meet the prerequisites for courses as designated or receive permission of the instructor. They are encouraged to contact the appropriate division office, registrar, or advising center for advising and support services.
