The Certificate Program Public Sector Management (CPSM) is designed for new and developing mid-managers working for the Government of Manitoba, who often bring technical skills to their managerial role but have had little opportunity to cultivate and enhance their management skills. The CPSM will focus on developing a knowledge of management tools for a dynamically changing environment, an awareness of government budgetary processes and various methods of analysing issues to develop better alternatives and solutions.

A strong emphasis is placed on integrating the important and current issues affecting all levels of government in Manitoba. The instructors have a wealth of hands-on senior management experience in the public sector.
