Enterprise Management Development Academy (EMDA)
The Enterprise Management Development Academy (EMDA), coordinated by the DOA Bureau of Training and Development, is a year-long program to prepare new and aspiring managers to successfully assume leadership roles in state service. Candidates participate in a series of in-person and virtual courses to acquire and apply managerial and leadership knowledge and skills, culminating with a collaborative project. The cohort approach provides opportunities for cross-agency networking.
