The Public Works Institute introduces students to the functional areas of public works and the scope of operations for each area. We emphasize management and leadership practices, and successful completion of the program is an important part of the APWA Level 2 Public Works Management (PWM) credentialing process. In addition to helping students better collaborate with the community and the private sector while enhancing operational efficiency, this program also helps them lead more effectively and make better decisions. These noncredit courses can be taken as part of the certificate or individually.
