Resources
Use these links to find resources and information that will help you outline your Individual Development Plan (IDP). Other options that you discover on your own are also available for you. There is no limit to the number of resources you may use, but to make things a little easier, start with using three or less resources at one time.
Be sure to build in check points for yourself along the way. How long your IDP will last is up to you and your Department Manager to determine.
