Twenty-four employees graduated today from the tenth class of the NCDOC Correctional Leadership Development Program (CLDP). It's a intensive year-long leadership training program for DOC employees. For many years, DOC executive managers have realized the importance of training those who will lead the agency in the future. The Department of Correction saw 400 employees retire in the past year and knows that by 2015 - 30% of its workforce will be at retirement age. It's clear that training future leaders is a significant need.
Since it's inception eleven years ago, 155 employees have graduated from CLDP and 126 of those are still working as managers within the agency. In the years since, other agencies have developed their own leadership training programs modeling them after CLDP - including the Indiana DOC, the North Carolina Department of Revenue and the North Carolina Justice Academy.
