 Professional
Development and Training Opportunities for Local Government
Throughout its history, the Institute for Public Administration
has responded to the professional development needs of Delaware's
local governments, which is consistent with the central mission
of the University of Delaware. To meet the needs of local
governments, IPA offers several training programs for public
officials and municipal staff. Such training programs are
invaluable and meet several needs for most local governments
as the training builds governance and planning capacity.
IPA currently offers three training programs and a day-long
conference that help meet the needs of local governments
