What is the Competitive Professional Development (CPD) Program?
The Army Civilian Training, Education and Development System (ACTEDS) CPD Program is the primary tool used to educate the Army contracting workforce in the latest business analysis and management techniques. The CPD Program also provides experiential assignments to broaden employees’ perspectives. As the contracting mission continues to expand, we must ensure that our workforce at all levels is equipped with the knowledge-based tools and experiences necessary to fulfill their greater responsibilities. CPD opportunities include university training, executive education, short-term training and developmental assignments.
