Creation of a compendium of industry – academia collaboration stories has been one of the long-standing agendas of the CII National Committee on Higher Education. The last such compendium was published by CII in 2013 in partnership with the Ministry of Human Resource Development on the occasion of an international workshop on industry – academia collaborations. That compendium had focused only on IITs and a couple of NITs. The present compendium goes beyond these premier institutions to include some of those in tier II and tier III cities as well. It provides but a glimpse of the work being done by the two sides together.

Professional Development (PD) is quite simply a means of supporting people in the workplace to understand more about the environment in which they work, the job they do and how to do it better. It is an ongoing process throughout our working lives.
PD opportunities provide a means whereby we can keep in sync the changes, broaden our skills and be more effective in our work.

3. What is CPD?
Continuing Professional Development
(CPD) or Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) is the means by which
members of professional associations
maintain, improve and broaden their
knowledge and skills and develop the
personal qualities required in their
professional lives.
4. What is CPD?
CPD is defined as the conscious updating of
professional knowledge and the improvement
of professional competence throughout a
person's working life. It is a commitment to
being professional, keeping up to date and
continuously seeking to improve.It is the key
to optimizing a person's career opportunities,
both today and for the future (Chartered
Institute of Professional Development
(2000)).
5. What is CPD?
CPD is defined as the holistic commitment
to structured skills enhancement and
personal or professional competence
Note the KEYWORDS: Personal or
Professional
6. Who Participates and Why?
A wide variety of people, such as teachers,
health care professionals, lawyers,
accountants and engineers engage in
professional development. Individuals may
participate in professional development
because of:
an interest in lifelong learning,
a sense of moral obligation,
to maintain and improve professional
competence,
enhance career progression,
keep abreast of new technology and practice,
compliance with professional regulatory
organizations
7. Approaches to Professional
Development
In a broad sense, professional development
may include formal types of vocational
education, leading to a qualification or
credential required to obtain or retain
employment.
Professional development opportunities can
range from a single workshop to a duration-
based course, to services offered by a
medley of different professional development
providers and varying widely with respect to
the philosophy, content, and format of the
learning experiences.
8. Approaches to Professional
Development (Contd.)
Some examples of approaches to professional
development include:
Case Study Method - The case method is a teaching
approach that consists in presenting the participants with a
case, putting them in the role of a decision maker facing a
problem (Hammond 1976)
Consultation - to assist an individual or group of
individuals to clarify and address immediate concerns by
following a systematic problem-solving process.
Coaching - to enhance a person’s competencies in a
specific skill area by providing a process of observation,
reflection, and action.
Communities of Practice - to improve professional
practice by engaging in shared inquiry and learning with
people who have a common goal
9. Approaches to Professional
Development (Contd.)
Lesson Study - to solve practical dilemmas related to
intervention or instruction through participation with other
professionals in systematically examining practice
Mentoring - to promote an individual’s awareness and
refinement of his or her own professional development by
providing and recommending structured opportunities for
reflection and observation
Reflective Supervision - to support, develop, and
ultimately evaluate the performance of employees through
a process of inquiry that encourages their understanding
and articulation of the rationale for their own practices
Technical Assistance - to assist individuals and their
organization to improve by offering resources and
information, supporting networking and change efforts
10. Approaches to Professional
Development (Contd.)
Professional development is a broad term,
encompassing a range of people, interests and
approaches. Those who engage in professional
development share a common purpose of enhancing
their ability to do their work.
At the heart of professional development is the
individual's interest in lifelong learning and increasing
their own skills and knowledge.
The 21st century has seen a significant growth in
online professional development. Content providers
incorporate collaborative platforms such as discussion
boards, thereby encouraging and facilitating
interaction, and optimizing training effectiveness
11. How to view CPD
According to the Chartered Institute of
Personnel and Development (CIPD), CPD
should:
1. be continuous - professionals should always
be looking for ways to improve performance
2. be the responsibility of the individual
learner to own and manage
3. be driven by the learning needs and
development of the individual
4. be evaluative rather than descriptive of
what has taken place
5. be an essential component of professional
and personal life, never an optional extra
12. The Process of Planning your CPD
The Institute of Administrative Management requires
candidates to complete the following:
1. Self-SWOT Analysis
This is intended to help the individual carry out some initial
thinking about his/her strengths and weaknesses. In addition,
he/she will need to think about possible directions for his/her
career development and to highlight potential threats
2. Personal & Professional Development
Development of your PPDP is based upon the individual’s SWOT
Analysis. Its purpose is to assist formulating a set of development
activities covering a period of twelve months. Long-term career
plans should cover development activities for the next twelve
months in the light of their intentions over the next three years.
13. The Process of Planning your CPD
3.Implementation
Implementation of the individual’s plan does not imply that they
cannot or should not change it once implementation is underway.
Situations and circumstances can and do change.
4.Learning Diary
It is vital that the individual records their efforts and assess the
benefits of their planned activities. The activities that they
undertake may not always generate the results that were
intended. Time spent reflecting on how they have tackled each
activity and in assessing the outcomes will enable the individual
to adjust their PPDP for the following year. Moreover, by recording
their activities they will be building a complete record of their
professional/personal development that can form the basis for
long-term career progression.
14. The Process of Planning your CPD
5. Annual Review/Summary
At the end of a twelve month period,
individuals should review activities they
undertook during the year. The process is
then repeated for the second and
subsequent years by reviewing and
updating your SWOT Analysis and then
drawing up a new PPDP
