Course Description:
Join us for a program that will provide you with a “big picture” view of how West Virginia state government operates. Just how does a bill become a law? What is the function of the Treasurer’s Office and where is it located? What roles do the clerks of the Senate, House of Delegates, and Supreme Court play in the operation of state government?Find the answers to these and other questions as we visit the three branches of state government in Know Your State Government.

As employees, we focus on our particular department and work unit and may not see the bigger picture. This program is intended to give you an overview of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government and to familiarize you with the locations of major offices within each branch of government. Our guest speakers will help you explore state government, its functions, and its vast network of interdependent relationships.

In this program, you will:
  • Recognize the specific purpose(s) of each branch of government;
  • Locate important facilities on the Capitol grounds; and
  • Understand the jobs and responsibilities of state officers.
Note: This is a "touring" class which means that you will want to wear appropriate shoes and business attire for walking.
