New Jersey’s local government and court systems offer a multitude of gainful and sustainable careers, including administrators, deputy administrators, and directors. All municipal court leaders must take training and pass tests covering municipal court procedures and management, and RVCC is the only community college in New Jersey offering this specialized training. Start your career in public service by signing up for this program.
POMCA is an 11-day program providing prospective judiciary employees with an awareness of the responsibilities as a judiciary employee and an overview of the New Jersey Court system structure. You will gain an understanding of judiciary policies, procedures, and workplace expectations, as well as a general understanding of the duties of court administrators, deputy court administrators, and violations clerks.
This course will be taught live and online via NJ Judiciary's Microsoft Teams. Students must have the ability to download and access Zoom with an internet-connected device and will receive log-on instructions a few days prior to the course start date.
