We recommend starting with reflective career planning in Steps 1 and 2:
Step 1: The Foundation – Find, revise or reaffirm your calling through the Affirmation of Professional Calling (APC) workshop (Jan 21/25)
Step 2: The Path – Use your calling to plan your way forward with the Professional Development Plan (PDP) workshop (Feb 24/25)
Step 3: The Building Blocks - Select the core and career path specific curriculum you need to move forward towards your goals.
Step 4: The Support – Find a mentor through the self-matching mentor tool (coming soon) or connect to a coach through the PEPP website. Join our Mentoring Academy by taking the Building Mentoring Relationships workshop (Mar 18/25).
This is
your program. The PEPP model emerged from our 2021 needs assessment as shown here:
