Municipal Training is a departmental program serving the incorporated municipalities of Newfoundland and Labrador. The program exists to strengthen and improve the leadership, administrative, operational and other job related skills of municipal councillors, municipal administrators, and other municipal employees. The program accomplishes this primary goal by providing training and continuing educational opportunities in areas of importance to municipal councils and their staff. The program also develops quality resource materials that municipalities can use as guides to improving the management and operational capabilities at the local level.
The mandate of the Municipal Training Program is achieved through extensive collaboration with the Municipal Training and Development Corporation
(MTDC), a partnership of the key stakeholders in the municipal sector in this province: Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador, Professional Municipal Administrators, the Combined Councils of Labrador, and the provincial government through the Department of Municipal Affairs.
MTDC is dedicated to promoting the knowledge and skills development of the Province’s municipally-elected officials and administrators by providing learning experiences directly relevant to the municipal context.
