In-Service Training
Training is essential to the future of Metro. It provides opportunities for you to grow professionally and personally, ensures that our services are of high quality, and helps attract other talented employees.
The training department offers a number of in-service opportunities and development programs that are open to all employees. The semi-annual training schedule is located on the Metro website. Once on the site, select HR and then clink on Training. The training schedule is posted under Quick links. Requests for training should be made through your department's training coordinator.
Professional trainers and subject matter experts serve as instructors for these programs, which are conducted year-round at sites throughout Metro Nashville. These programs include MEPD for non-supervisory employees and MMI for supervisory employees.
In addition, supervisors may receive training through the Metropolitan Management Institute (MMI). MMI is an educational partnership with Middle Tennessee State University and the Human Resources Training Division. CEU Credit is available to those completing the program and submitting the necessary form to MTSU. The training division will assist you in this process. MMI's mission is “to provide effective training and educational opportunities that promote the professional development of employees in a diverse municipal workforce and to prepare these employees for the future challenges of public service.” The 10-course program totals 40 hours of instruction.
