Professional Development Planning
WHAT IS IT?
Professional Development Planning (PDP) is a process designed to assist you to get the most from your training and development opportunities, and help you to plan and reflect upon the knowledge and skills you are developing. PDP can help you to identify areas of strength, as well as those you feel require further development.
Key Areas for Professional Development Planning:
- The Person – Developing Personal Effectiveness and transferrable skills
- The Profession – Professional requirements and specific skills sets for your career
- The Place – Developing overall Organisational Effectiveness as part of company or department objectives
- The Centre – Bringing it all together
