§412.303. Senior Executive Service candidate development program (SESCDP) oversight and evaluation.
5 C.F.R. § 412.303
An agency must complete and maintain program evaluations pursuant to training evaluation requirements in 5 CFR 410.202 and must use OPM-developed evaluation templates for completion, respectively, by individual SESCDP participants and agency program managers:
Upon completion of each individual SESCDP cohort;
Annually for the overarching SESCDP; and
To collect evaluation data for the purpose of identifying and implementing program enhancements or alternative approaches to program administration.
To seek OPM re-approval of an SESCDP policy, an agency must submit its current program policy and completed overarching program evaluation template. Evaluations must include initial SES placement rates for graduates who receive a QRB certification and demonstrate that the agency maintains a minimum placement rate as specified by OPM policy and guidance. Individual participant program cohort evaluation templates are not required for re-approval; however, OPM reserves the right to request templates for each individual cohort during the current approval period.
