What is PSD?

Professional Staff Development exists to assist employees in self-development, to refine present skills and to enhance achievement of long-range goals. Application may be made for tuition for university classes not offered by MCCCD, seminars/conferences, and for travel expenses to seminars or conferences.

PSD Goals

The goal of the Professional Staff Development Committee is to provide an incentive that will encourage the employee to maximize his/her scope of knowledge.  Tuition assistance may be given to eligible employees taking upper-division courses at accredited colleges or universities.  Employees may also have costs reimbursed for attending job-related or career-oriented seminars, workshops, or other activities as approved by the supervisor and the PSD committee following the determined guidelines.  The PSD committee promotes District-wide employee development by sponsoring group seminars, workshops, and other activities.
