As a part of the ongoing Health and Human Services succession planning efforts,
the SES Candidate Development Program (CDP) prepares high potential GS-15
employees for the SES ranks.
This Department-wide competitive program:
prepares participants for SES Certification by OPM
establishes an HHS pool of qualified candidates for SES positions
prepares future executives for collaborative leadership within and outside of
the Department
The design of the SES CDP provides a broad range of developmental experiences
and formal, practical training experiences including:
Mentoring from an SES member
Leadership assessments and feedback
Creation and execution of an Executive Development Plan
Online and classroom instruction in executive level competencies
Rotational assignments within and outside of the Department
Group project on high level Department issues
Participants who successfully complete this 18 month program and receive SES
certification from OPM are eligible for non-competitive career appointment to
any SES position for which the certified candidate also meets the professional
or technical qualifications.
How to Apply
The program is closed. Future announcements will be posted on OPMs USAJOBS website at http://www.usajobs.gov.
