BACKGROUND:

With the financial support of a grant from the Cleveland Foundation, a group of 30 City of Cleveland administrators will begin a one-year concentrated program in Public Management Development to build upon and enhance their management skills. The program has been custom designed by the Center for Leadership in the Levin College of Urban Affairs and has been developed to meet needs addressed in Mayor Jackson’s “Operations Efficiency Task Force.”

This program will professionalize and empower the City of Cleveland administrative workforce. City administrators will lead and practice the skills and tools they need to meet the public management challenges of the 21st century. All customized workshops (25) will focus on workplace efficiency, improved communications, customer service, change management, and innovative planning strategies.
