External Leadership Development Programs (ELDP):

At ESDC, a two-tiered approach is implemented to ensure strategic focus on key external leadership programs while allowing branches/regions to exercise their discretion/flexibility for other available leadership program options, based on individual executive development needs:

Tier I programs

Tier I programs require an internal nomination process (typically through ESDC-WMC, twice per year – Fall and Winter).

Title

• Certificate Program in Leading People for Results (University of Ottawa)
• Certificate Program in Public Sector Leadership and Governance (University of Ottawa)
• EX Executive Leadership Development Program (TBS)
• Executive Leadership Program (Institute on Governance)
• Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK)
• Meeting the Leadership Challenge (University of British Columbia)
• Public Executive Program (Queen's University)

Tier II programs

Tier II programs do not require a departmental nomination process. Executives can register directly through their branch/region approval/nomination process:

Title

• Canada & UK Emerging Leaders Program (exeCoaching)

• Certification in Leadership and Management (Concordia University) (information available in French only)

(Important) - Completed learning activities:

Once any learning activity is completed, executives will need to update their participation information in SABA. They are also encouraged to update the “Personal Information” tab in the Executive Talent Management System with the completed External Leadership Development Programs. The information automatically updates their profile, and helps to inform strategic executive talent management
