The Management Advancement for the Public Service (MAPS) Program offers training seminars that build management and leadership skills for top executives, mid-level managers, front-line supervisors, and administrative support staff. Skill-building sessions are available for employees at all levels. The MAPS Program has been serving the training needs of public and non-profit organizations since 1970.

The John Glenn School prides itself on the quality of seminars, and the professionals who present them. Our presenters come from diverse backgrounds including faculty and professional consultants who share a fundamental commitment to enhance the quality of public service.

The format of a MAPS seminar is participatory in nature; you become part of the learning experience and are presented with working concepts and ideas that you will be able to transfer to your individual work situations.
