The Senior Executive Service Candidate Development Program (SESCDP) is the principal means through which the IRS seeks to identify and hire a career executive corps. The CDP is a minimum of one year and maximum of two years in length, and consists of formal training (Executive Development-XD-Program) and developmental assignments. Its purpose is to identify outstanding persons with demonstrated leadership competencies and to prepare them for senior executive positions.
Entry into the Senior Executive Service (SES) is based on performance, OPM certification, and the availability of positions. Selections are guided by an assessment of an applicant’s demonstrated leadership experience. Graduates of the SES CDP are eligible for OPM’s Qualification Review Board certification, which is required in order to become a member of the Service’s corps of executives.
