Professional development is an ongoing process that supports employees in better understanding their work environment, job duties, and improving job performance. It includes preservice training like formal education programs, inservice training through professional organizations or continuing education, and self-development activities like research, observations, and presentations. Effective professional development provides conceptual information, practice, and feedback to employees. It also uses developmental relationships, goal setting, interactive learning, and feedback to promote skills and career growth.
