CPD (Continuing professional development)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a formal process of acquiring new knowledge and skills in order to maintain and enhance one’s professional competency. It is an increasingly important way for professionals to both remain current with the latest industry developments and keep their career prospects open. CPD involves engaging in activities such as courses, seminars, conferences, workshops, networking events, online learning, reading material, and research projects. These activities can be self-directed or offered by employers and other external sources. By committing to CPD activities on a regular basis, individuals can remain up-to-date with the latest best practices and stay in step with the movement of the modern workplace.
