About the Program
DHS has mandated the establishment of a Cornerstone Program as part of the
overall Leadership Development Program (LDP) for all components. The
Cornerstone Program provides a developmental roadmap for new and seasoned
supervisors, managers and executives across DHS. It is the first and most
critical element of the DHS Leader Development Framework to be implemented.
For additional information on the Cornerstone Program, please visit
DHS Connect
(Accessible only through Coast Guard workstations).
Participant Objectives
As described in the Cornerstone Program requirements, Coast Guard is responsible for providing and ensuring employee compliance with the annual 12-hour self-development below:
Required
12 hours of self-development annually:
- Minimum 12 hours of annual development from internal or
external providers including performance management, and
any of 6 additional competencies (28 Coast Guard Leadership Competencies).
- These may include online, reading, classroom, or other
learning activities. Continuous learning modules are available on Skillport (see below for procedures to access the learning modules).
Continuous learning is essential to keeping pace with changing and
increasing demands. A learning orientation is not only a vital quality in a
leader, it is also what the Department expects our leaders to be willing to
invest in executing mission excellence.
Eligibility
For supervisory, managers and executives
beyond their first year of federal supervision.
Enrollment Procedures
