Professional development refers to the process of acquiring new knowledge, skills, and competencies that are relevant to an individual's profession or career. It can take many forms, such as attending workshops, participating in training programs, completing advanced degrees or certifications, or engaging in on-the-job learning experiences.
The goal of professional development is to enhance an individual's expertise and effectiveness in their chosen profession or career, and to keep up with changing trends, technologies, and best practices. Professional development is an ongoing process and Staff, Trainers, and Assessors may be expected to engage in ongoing professional development activities relevant to their roles to maintain their skills and knowledge.
