It is designed to equip aspiring leaders with the skills, knowledge, technical expertise, and strategic mindset necessary to excel in senior leadership roles.

Senior Executive Development Program

This 80-hour video-based program enhances SES skills and capabilities in topics such as Article II of the Constitution, the new Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs), and how SES officials will implement Presidential Executive Orders.

The program divided into two phases, each consisting of 40 hours of content delivered over six months.
