Individual Development Plan (IDP)
An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a personalized tool that helps professionals outline their career goals and the skills or experiences needed to achieve them. It involves assessing current strengths and areas for growth, setting specific objectives, and creating a plan to acquire relevant knowledge or training. The IDP is a collaborative process between the individual and their supervisor or mentor, guiding professional development and ensuring alignment with career aspirations and organizational needs. It fosters intentional growth and keeps development efforts focused and measurable.
