OIG Expands Access to MCPPO Designations
To promote good government and best practices in public procurement, the Inspector General is encouraging every community in the Commonwealth to have at least one public employee with a current MCPPO designation. Through this pilot program for fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), the OIG is offering each municipality free tuition for the three classes required for one employee to receive the MCPPO designation. The three classes have a total value of $1,885. Upon completion of the three core classes, an employee can apply for the MCPPO designation.
Applicants must be authorized by their mayor, select board chair or town administrator/manager. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. We will regretfully reject any applications that do not meet these requirements.
