Advanced Leadership Program

The Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) was developed to assist the U.S. Postal Service in ensuring that a base of qualified and capable leaders is available for the next several years. ALP is aimed at experienced managers who exhibit high potential for increased levels of responsibility. Thus, a particular type of learner was anticipated for ALP and the program was designed consistent with those expectations. ALP provides the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary for participants to positively impact and support future postal management decisions and direction. The program seeks to develop a highly competent managerial base from which future organizational leadership will emerge.
