Description:
The Executive Potential Program (EPP) is a 12-month competency-based leadership development program that provides training and developmental experiences for high-potential executives at the GS 13-15 levels or equivalent. The program theme is "Leading Change." The program objective is to equip leaders with the information, tools, and experience they need to serve at the highest levels. The EPP curriculum is focused on the Office of Personnel and Management’s Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) framework with a concentration on leading change. Training consists of four one-week sessions. Program components include individual development, action learning, and assessment. Participants also complete a team project by the end of the program. Teams work together during and between training sessions using the action learning process to identify and address real world problems and to produce recommendations that have direct impact. Note: This program is not a Senior Executive Service Candidate Development Program (SESCDP) though many of its components are equivalent to SESCDP programs. Participants learn more about the Senior Executive Service (SES) and the process of applying to become an SES.
