Academy for Staff Development
The Virginia Department of Corrections places a very high value on developing and supporting its most important resource, its employees. The Academy for Staff Development is the heart of the Department’s employee training and development program and is committed to providing high quality Human Resource Development services for the 13,800 plus DOC employees, in support of the Department’s overall mission to meet the public safety needs of Virginia’s citizens.
The Academy recognizes that to achieve it’s mission, it is essential that a total employee development delivery system must be maintained. This system includes three equally important elements that are necessary in providing high quality training programs and services:
- Highly qualified staff who understand the mission and goals of the Academy and who are dedicated to providing quality services.
- A curriculum development and delivery process that includes on-going needs assessment, use of the most effective methods of training presentation, and multifaceted program evaluation.
- Academy facilities that provide a physical and psychological environment that enhances the total learning experience of the adult learner.
