What is CSM? 

 

The Certificate in Supervisory Management (CSM) Program is comprised of the first Phase (Levels I-III) of the Certified Public Manager Program.  This phase of the Program focuses on a broad-based approach to management and leadership development.

 

The NVCSM Program is a 6-month program consisting of 138.5 hours of instruction and activities focused on the development of key management and leadership competencies for public managers.  The primary objective of this Program is to develop core competencies focused on managerial and leadership areas.  Because this is the first phase of the CPM Program, there is no curriculum on budgeting or public policy, and participants will not be completing a Capstone quality improvement project.  CSM graduates will be able to use their completed certification as a stepping-stone to entering the CPM Program starting at Phase 2 at a later date, based on a first-come - first-served  availability basis.

 

Program Overview

 

The NVCSM Program is designed for public service employees who wish to learn both current management theory and useful techniques in order to improve their performance as managers in the public sector.  Professional and developmental in character, the Program is designed to prepare managers for the increasingly complex and demanding governmental issues confronting Nevada. The program objective is to develop world class leaders in public service and accomplishes this by using a systematic approach to leadership  development.  This certificate program offers practitioner-oriented course work that builds upon management training programs offered through agencies, colleges, and universities and provides public professionals with training to maximize the effectiveness of Nevada’s government organizations.
