Benefits

The INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) offers you a means to analyze your own development needs, set specific short- and long-term goals, and decide which opportunities best meet those needs and goals.

Since the promotion of lifelong learning is one of the goals of JCCC, it supports your continued growth efforts. Your IDP will also assist your immediate supervisor in supporting your development. Information shared may result in budget decisions at the program, division or staff development levels.

Process

The IDP process should stimulate useful introspection and focus your planning. Your IDP should be reviewed and updated every 3 years. Keep one copy, provide one copy to your immediate supervisor (optional) and send the original to the Staff Development Office, Box 43.

Completion of the IDP is voluntary. However, its completion may be an eligibility requirement for funding through the Staff & Organizational Development Office.

Reminder

• Complete the IDP online
• Print a hard copy
• Have appropriate Supervisor signatures (optional)
• Make a copy to keep for your files
• Send the signed original to Staff and Organizational Development Office GEB 275, Box 43
• You may also scan your signed IDP and email it to us as a pdf file
