I am writing to encourage nominations for members of your staff to participate in our annual Professional Development (PDP) and Staff Enrichment (SEP) Programs. As we plan 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 our most successful career development programs, PDP and SEP assist the University in the development and retention of a highly skilled, diverse, 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 features several components, including advanced skills training, mentoring, coaching, networking, and leadership development. Participants design and execute an individual Capstone Project that enhances their department’s or organization’s operational functioning, with an emphasis on developing and tracking metrics to assess project impact and success.
|
|
The Staff Enrichment Program is a highly successful, one-year program designed to foster career development and provide skill-building opportunities for staff in administrative support positions. Participants design and execute an individual Capstone Project that enhances their own or department’s operational functioning and builds skills that support career advancement within the University.
|
|
Both the Professional Development Program and the Staff Enrichment Program are aimed at different staff populations and have different eligibility criteria. Interested applicants should review the program descriptions and eligibility requirements before applying. The application period for both programs closes April 7, 2023.
|
|
If you have any questions about either program, contact Kelsey Duff, Professional & Career Development Portfolio Manager via email at KDuff@chr.ucla.edu.
|
|
Please join us in this opportunity to develop UCLA’s staff leaders for the future.
