Nominations are now being accepted for the Professional Development (PDP) and Staff Enrichment (SEP) Programs. As UCLA plans for the future, it is important to build leadership and professional competencies, implement strategies to transfer institutional knowledge, and expand career growth opportunities for UCLA’s diverse workforce.
As two of UCLA's most successful career development programs, PDP and SEP assist the University in the development and retention of a highly skilled and motivated professional staff. The programs have a demonstrated record of enhancing skills, strengthening institutional loyalty, and broadening participants' knowledge of University affairs.
Professional Development Program
The Professional Development Program is beginning its 31st year and the program features several components, including advanced skills training, mentoring, coaching, networking, and leadership development.
Additional program information, as well as application instructions can be accessed at the Professional Development Program website.
Staff Enrichment Program
The Staff Enrichment Program is beginning its 46th year. This highly successful, one-year program is designed to foster career development and provide skill-building opportunities for staff in administrative support positions.
Additional program information, as well as application instructions can be accessed at the Staff Enrichment Program website.
While both programs are highly sought-after career growth opportunities, they are aimed at different staff populations and have separate eligibility criteria. Interested applicants should review the program descriptions and eligibility requirements before applying. The application period closes for both programs on April 4, 2025.
If you have any questions about either program, contact Kelsey Duff, Professional & Career Development Portfolio Manager via email at KDuff@chr.ucla.edu.
