Introduction to the Senior Leader Program

The Senior Leader Program prepares candidates for the Senior Executive Service (SES). This open-enrollment program is designed around the Office of Personnel Management Executive Core Qualifications (training requirements) and meets the U.S. Office of Personnel Management requirement that participants in agency-specific candidate development programs have an 80-hour interagency training experience. Since its inception in 1982, the SLP has served thousands of managers and executives from more than 80 government agencies and departments.

—Deputy Commissioner, Pennsylvania State Police
