The South Carolina Society of Certified Public Managers, also known as SCSCPM, was established in 1991 in South Carolina under the Budget and Control Board’s Office of Human Resources. The Certified Public Manager Program was developed as a response to the need in this state for a comprehensive skills-based management training program in order to develop managers with a core set of competencies. The National Certified Public Manager Consortium provided the framework, support, and credibility needed to implement this initiative. This professional credential involves intensive study, practice, application, and testing to prepare public managers for the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s workplace.  Learn More
