Leadership development and special assignments

Leadership development

The Leadership Development Program (LDP) is an accelerated development program for CRA employees who have been identified by management as strong performers with the potential to succeed in a leadership role. Tailored assignments, coaching and formal training help LDP participants obtain the competency and leadership attributes they need to compete for middle management positions.

Special assignments

Two special programs support the CRA's commitment to increasing employees' understanding of:

• the Canadian and foreign economies
• other levels of government
• research institutions
• the private sector
• governments in other countries.

The two special initiatives are:

• the International Assignments Program, which involves developmental opportunities in other countries
• the Interchange Program, which promotes the exchange of CRA employees with personnel in other sectors of the Canadian economy.
