Training

Each year, thousands of elected and appointed government officials and administrators work to improve their knowledge and skills through some 615 continuing education opportunities offered by the Institute. Participants benefit from the advanced instructional tools and broad expertise that Institute instructors bring to all of their education and professional development programs.

Put Special Topics Workshop to Work for You

We know that your government workforce has training and development needs that are particular to your circumstances. That is why the Vinson Institute offers special topic workshops—to build the skills and knowledge your officials and staff need.

Think of special topic workshops as made-to-order training opportunities that can be mixed and matched from our comprehensive menu of courses to fit the demands of your jurisdiction. By choosing only the courses that you need, your limited resources have the maximum impact.

Depending on your choices, our trainers can design a format for a one-, two-, or three-day training session delivered at the location determined by you. We can also gear most courses toward different levels of employees.

You can create your own customized curriculum from our selection of 29 workshops.
