Nominations are now being accepted for the 2018-19 Professional Development Program (PDP). The program helps build management competencies, implement strategies to transfer institutional knowledge and expand career growth opportunities for UCLA’s diverse workforce.
As one of our most successful career development programs, PDP is beginning its 24th year. It assists the University in the development and retention of a highly skilled, diverse and motivated professional staff. The program has a demonstrated record of enhancing skills, strengthening institutional loyalty and broadening participants' knowledge of University affairs.
PDP features several components, including advanced skills training, mentoring, coaching, networking and career assessment. Participants work with department sponsors on special projects of importance to UCLA, enabling them to demonstrate professional skills to campus leaders. Staff members at PSS Grades 2 - 6 and equivalent Programmer/Analyst levels are eligible to participate and must receive departmental endorsement.
The deadline for receipt of completed applications is March 23, 2018, and the program begins in August, 2018. Online applications, as well as a PDP ebrochure, are available on Human Resources’ Professional Development Program web page.
If you have any questions about PDP, contact Julia Sanchez, Manager—Training and Professional Development at extension 4-0853, or via email at JuliaSanchez@chr.ucla.edu.
