Why does the SLDP development program run from 8-12 months?
It is anticipated that program participants will alternate program requirements with work in their current positions of record. Each participant’s Individual Development Plan (IDP) will be tailored to his or her specific needs. While the minimum time frame for all required components is five months, it is highly unlikely that a program participant could complete all program requirements within that time frame. TSA desires to develop its bench strength in an effective and efficient manner while maintaining operational effectiveness.
