Presentation of the training
This level I training (Bac+5) was created in 1984 at the very beginning of the decentralization process implemented at the same time in France. It has had different titles, always including the notion of local authorities and law. It has regularly adapted to the requirements of professionalization and the need for permanent modernization of public action, taking into account both the challenges and new tools as well as the reflections carried by the doctrine on issues relating to territories and their evolution. It is now entitled Master 2 Public Law and Management of Local Authorities.
The Master 2 in Public Law and Management of Local Authorities brings a double competence, management and law. This transdisciplinarity meets the needs of local authorities and their groupings (EPCI) as well as the organizations, institutions and companies working with them. These various institutions require managers who know how to envisage the exercise of the competences entrusted by the legislator to local and regional authorities in a global and forward-looking manner. Alongside a dominant specialty, the executive must be capable of grasping the issue to be resolved in its various aspects. They must have the capacity to analyze the issue by breaking it down and to synthesize in order to provide a response based on the intersection of the legal and management disciplines.

Target audience
Training is available in initial and continuing education. It mainly welcomes students with a Master's Degree in public law and management sciences with a focus on public management.
It is also open to students who are returning to study for validation of prior learning (VAP or VAE).
Finally, since 2012 ENSOSP students, under certain conditions (see partnerships) are also part of the student body.

In my job, I manage structuring and strategic projects on behalf of the General Services Department, which involve the modernization of the administration and require the coordination of a large number of actors from different professions and the implementation of important change management actions. I also manage more operational projects directly with the teams in the field and follow up on day-to-day management files, particularly in the area of public procurement and concerning cross-cutting policies such as citizen dialogue.
What I like most about my job :
The wealth of encounters and the diversity of areas of intervention. I can be entrusted with any project, I become a project management specialist and learn every day from all the people I meet. I work with professionals from very different fields, which allows me to build an important network in the community and to increase my skills in various fields. In particular, I am leading a major modernization project with a digital component that allows me to learn about the computer jargon and digital tools used in the community, and to have a global vision of our organization.

My main missions are, on the one hand, the conception and the animation of projects having for objective to propose a favorable environment for the establishment of companies. On the other hand, the accompaniment of the entrepreneurs (support to the creation, the development, the resumption of company). I also have a mission to coordinate the Intervention Fund for Services, Crafts and Commerce (FISAC).
What I like most about my job:
There is no "typical day." The project owners have various needs and require answers adapted to each particularity, which makes the work very stimulating!
I also enjoy being in contact with a variety of partners (associations, companies, local authorities, elected officials). This is one of the essential challenges of this position: creating links in order to generate added value for the companies and its territory.
Finally, it is necessary to be in the field, which is, in my opinion, one of the strong points of this job.

Within the Technical Services Department, I supervise a "user relations" department that handles reception, administrative management and emergency situations (bad weather, flooding, on-call duty, etc.) and a "finance and contract execution" department that manages the entire expenditure chain (purchases, commitments, invoicing, contract execution). I participate in the implementation of the global municipal project by piloting and monitoring the Pluriannual Investment Program and the search for financing.

The mission of the city center manager is to support the development of commercial activities in his or her area. Nevertheless, a commercial revitalization project cannot be thought of in an "isolated" way, it must be inserted in a global urban project integrating the components that directly impact the commercial activity (housing, accessibility, urbanism and public spaces, services...). To do this, the Saint-Priest Trade Office is a public-private partnership, a network of actors with an influence and an interest in the attractiveness of the territory (services and elected officials, consular chambers, social landlords, banks, accountants, mass distribution, media, residents, business associations, etc.). The organization of a permanent discussion between these actors allows for the cross-referencing of data and points of view that are invaluable for enriching municipal policy in terms of the development of the commercial offer and support for local commerce. The city center manager therefore works not only to strengthen the commercial dynamism of the city center, but more broadly to enhance the overall attractiveness of the area, in conjunction with all the players involved.
What I like most about my job :
- A position at the crossroads of the public and private sectors.
- A real influence on the development of a territory. Today, ensuring the development and maintenance of local commercial activities is a public service mission.
- The support and the dynamization of an essential cog in the economy and the cohesion of the territories: the craftsmen, shopkeepers, and local service providers. One foot in the field, the other in the strategy.
- Regular contacts with numerous interlocutors at all "levels": from the municipal police officer to the DGS, from the resident to the Mayor, from the small producer to the operator of a shopping center in the regional catchment area...
- Varied missions: commercial development strategy, commercial establishments, support for elected officials in decision-making, management of an association and its employees, marketing and communication, economic animation, organization of events... The city center manager is a generalist capable of adapting to many audiences and issues rather than a specialist in the economy or trade. Moreover, the profiles are very varied.
