Fiscal 2018 ESDP information briefings scheduled

Robins is gearing up to embark on the FY18 cycle of the Emerging Supervisor Development Program (ESDP) with a series of informational briefings beginning 30 January 2018.  ESDP is a highly competitive AFSC initiative used to develop future first-level supervisors who possess technical expertise and have demonstrated leadership competencies.  ESDP affords high-potential employees the opportunity to obtain formal and experiential leadership training prior to placement into a supervisory role. 

During the FY17 cycle, Robins had over 250 employees from AFSC and participating associate units self-nominate for this leadership development program.  After a dynamic rating, endorsement, and interview process 33 applicants were selected to participate.  Selectees have 12 months to complete all training requirements and are scheduled to graduate in mid-August 2018.

For FY18 AFSC, as well as 461^st ACW personnel, have opted to participate in the program.  To ensure ESDP requirements, processes, and lessons learned are adequately socialized, FSS/FSD will host a series of supervisor and employee specific informational briefings.  Attendance is highly encouraged for supervisors because they may be required to participate in the endorsement process and any employee who may be interested in self-nominating.  

Supervisor Briefing Schedule:

Employee Briefing Sessions: Open to all interested AFSC and 461^st employees
