Parks and Recreation Management Certificate (PRMC) Program
The Parks and Recreation Management Certificate (PRMC) is designed for managers in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. The program focuses on the 3 pillars for successful leadership in any organization: communication, strategic planning, and political acuity. It introduces participants to key concepts and theories in each of the core areas, supported by research and practical case studies. This program is presented in partnership with the Schulich Executive Education Centre, School of Business, York University.
In 2024, the PRMC program content will be presented in a real-time virtual classroom on Zoom. Learn more about the fall 2024 PRMC program, dates, courses, and instructors!
PRMC Program Highlights
"This program is a really good tool for up and coming staff to gain skills that are typically taught on the job and under fire, which we all know isn’t the best way at times. I really appreciate the leadership role PRO has in our industry and offering this certification is a great example of this." Rob Axiak, Chief Administrative Officer, City of Welland
“This program will give a competitive edge to young professionals in municipal administration who are seeking to advance their careers. It’s a great investment in the talented people who will be our municipal leaders today and in the future.” Darlene Joslin, Director of Recreation and Culture, Town of Richmond Hill
