Professional development is a broad term, encompassing a range of people, interests and approaches. Those who engage in professional development share a common purpose of enhancing their ability to do their work. At the heart of professional development is the individual's interest in lifelong learning and increasing their own skills and knowledge.

Professional development may include formal types of education leading to qualification or credential required to obtain or retain employment. Professional development may also come in the form of pre-service or in-service professional development programs. These programs may be formal, or informal, group or individualized. Individuals may pursue professional development independently, or programs may be offered by Organizational Development. Professional development on the job may develop or enhance process skills as well as task skills. Professional development opportunities can range from a single workshop to services offered by a medley of different professional development providers and varying widely with respect to the philosophy, content, and format of the learning experiences.
