Education and training resources can help us all do our jobs better, help us make more informed decisions and give us a broader understanding of the context and environment in which we live and work. In Tennessee, there is a nationally recognized training program for county officials. It is the County Officials Certificate Training Program or COCTP.
The COCTP is a comprehensive training program administered by the University of Tennessee County Technical Assistance Service (CTAS). The COCTP is designed to provide specialized, office-specific, technical, administrative, managerial, and leadership training to elected officials and their employees in order to help county government run more effectively. Training is offered in the classroom setting, through on-line courses and through correspondence courses. Often, classroom training courses are offered in conjunction with TCSA conferences and meetings. In addition, many of the lectures and breakout sessions at TCSA meetings count for credit hours in the COCTP.
If you are interested in this program, you can find a brochure about COCTP here:
