ABOUT THE ACADEMY

The idea of creating the Risk Management in Local Government Units Academy was born as the result of May meetings with local government authorities.
Administrators, mayors and city presidents have an enormous liability- both towards State Authorities and towards their electorate, and the risk connected with the activity of local government units – view their specifics – is often higher than in other entities on the market.           
The operations of a local government unit are inseparable from risk. The occurrence of unwanted events can threaten an efficient functioning of local government units and proper execution of their tasks. Therefore knowledge about tools allowing to limit the risk and to minimize its costs is so important.     
The Risk Management Academy is a series of trainings showing what risk in local governments units’ activity means, what kind of risks occur, how to limit this risk, how to prevent  its effects, what benefits can be obtained from risk management. And also detailed trainings on risk management in specific areas of activity, such as municipal services, investment, public orders, among others.     

THE CYCLE OF TRANING

Fall session is from September to December.

The training within the Academy consists of a managing and of a facultative module.  

The managing module is intended for Office managers.
The training takes 2 days, and its target is:

•     To acquaint Participants with the essence of  risk management,
•     To clarify the need for such actions in local government units,
•     To show the profits coming from risk management,
•     To present methods and behavioral procedures used within these operations.

The Facultative Module consists of a dozen or so range of topics connected with risk management in individual areas of the unit’s activity. These trainings are intended for Office employees responsible for these areas.   
Thematic trainings take 1 or 2 days. During the training Participants get acquainted with methods and procedures used in risk management in given areas of local government units’ activity. They receive knowledge about how to use business insurance as a tool for risk management.
