Florida deserves well-prepared, servant-leadership–driven county leaders. The Institute for County Government, in partnership with UF/IFAS Extension, provides county commissioners and their teams with premier training and research—empowering them to lead their communities and build a brighter future for every Florida county.

Since its launch in 1996, the Certified County Commissioner (CCC) Program has offered county commissioners a unique, voluntary learning journey. Taught by a dynamic team of university faculty, government leaders, professional speakers, FAC members, and staff, it helps commissioners master the information and skills essential to their roles.

Recognizing the demand from commissioners to extend this rich curriculum to their teams, the County Government Education Program was introduced in 2017. Now, county staff can dive into the same comprehensive coursework, equipping entire governments with the tools and knowledge to excel.
