State government organizations are experiencing a variety of challenges such as shrinking budgets, downsizing, and restructuring. Employees are still responsible for achieving their agency's mission and goals while dealing with these challenges. OHR is offering open enrollment courses that will continue to help enhance employee performance during these tough times. These courses and dates can be found on our website under the 2012-13 Calendar of Courses. All open enrollment courses can be taken as individual classes or participants may apply the completed classes towards the Associate Public Manager (APM) Certification Program or the Public Professional Development (PPD) Certification Program. The required courses for each certification program is listed on our website. PerksCard Discount Card Program
