Welcome to the FedLDP site! This site is populated with information about Leadership Development Programs available within agencies of the Federal government who have chosen to list their programs on this site.
How to Search the Site
You can search for programs in several ways on the search page, as follows:
Select a Department or Independent Agency from the drop down list.
For example purposes, we selected the Department of Commerce as shown in the graphic below. Then click on Search. All the Leadership Development Programs (LDPs) offered by the Department of Commerce will appear.
Do not choose an agency.
Fill in your Pay Level with the appropriate letters and numbers such as GS-12, Pay Band K, or FS-03. See the graphic below in which GS-7 was filled in to search the catalog. Then click on Search. All the LDPs offered for a Federal employee in a GS-7 position will appear.
For the most refined search, use multiple criteria.
Select a Department or Independent Agency from the drop down list. Next, fill in your Pay Level. In the example below we have refined the search of programs offered by the Department of Commerce by also filling in the Pay Level with GS-7. After you click on Search, all the LDPs offered by the Department of Commerce to a Federal employee in a GS-7 position will appear.
