GFOA's Learning Pathways

Your Career Journey, Personalized!

We’re excited to introduce Learning Pathways—a powerful new tool designed to help you advance in your career and navigate the terrain of professional growth. In today’s fast-changing public finance environment, professionals are asked to master new technologies, adapt to evolving regulations, and take on broader responsibilities than ever before. Learning Pathways gives you a clear roadmap to build the skills you need to succeed in your current role and prepare for future opportunities, all while strengthening the finance capacity of your organization and the communities you serve.

The first two pathways, Accounting and Budgeting, are now available, giving you immediate access to detailed job descriptions that outline the associated knowledge, skills, and abilities required to do the job, resources, self-assessments, and personalized learning recommendations to strengthen your expertise and prepare for what’s next. Additional pathways in other areas of public finance will follow soon.
