Tempe, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 01/23/2012 --According to the resource guide Website mastersinpublicadministrationguides.org, the position of a city manager is one of the highest-ranking administrative jobs involving public policy that can be obtained with a Master of Public Administration degree. The Website provides detailed information on schools, programs and career tracks for those pursing a Master of Public Administration degree.

In addition to City Manager, a Master of Public Administration degree is the gateway to many public service career positions in both the public and private sector. These degree programs develop the skills and strategies used by leaders and managers to implement insurance policies, initiatives, and programs that resolve community and societal problems while addressing organizational, human resource and budgetary challenges on a large scale.

While city managers do much of the heavy lifting when it comes to short and long-term development of a city or town, the position at its core is about people. Although many cities struggle to balance budgets and growth in the current economic climate, many are seeking an innovative and dedicated city manager to help create the plan. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that city manager positions are expected to grow eight percent within the decade, “These positions are more crucial than ever before and our Website provides information on the educational and personal growth trajectories needed to get there,” said a mastersinpublicadministrationguides.org Representative.

Although a city manager generally implements the policies created by the legislative body of a city or town, the realities of the job are considerably more complex. The Website resource guide provides detailed information on the job scope and duties of city managers from resources such as California City Management Foundation (CCMF), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and other organizations.

The Website provides detailed information on coursework for the degree, schools that offer both on-campus and online degree programs as well as coursework requirements. Employment resources for city managers are also covered as well as articles on aspects of the career including foreign policy and the relationship between public policy and Homeland Security in addition to other important considerations.
