CIA Diversity Initiatives: Development & Leadership
The CIA is dedicated to building a world-class, high
performing, and diverse workforce that allows us to meet the increasing threats
and challenges to our nation.
The Office of Diversity Plans and Programs (DPP) has designed and developed programs for all employees to encourage professional
development at all levels, such as a cross-directorate group mentoring
initiative, a monthly series of “lunch and learn” workshops, and an array of
diversity training to enhance skills necessary to manage and function in a
diverse workforce. We also have a robust online Diversity Training Portal with a wide variety of courses that enable our officers to build and refresh their diversity skills.
DPP has developed innovative leadership programs to ensure
that process changes lead to permanent improvements in a culture of One Agency,
One Team.

senior leadership via our Diversity Leadership Working Group to promote
strategies that will effectively address and manage Agency-wide diversity
challenges.

ensure that all of our training and development efforts represent the most
current best practices available.
