In plain language

The Certified Public Manager Program is for supervisors and managers in State service, developed and administered by CLIP. Its standard is external: the program has to meet criteria established by the National Certified Public Managers Consortium rather than criteria New Jersey writes for itself. The Chairperson or designee is Chief Administrative Officer of the program and the Director of CLIP is Program Director. Instruction comes in progressive levels and is delivered jointly by CLIP and an institution of higher education selected by the Civil Service Commission, so no single agency runs it end to end.
