Welcome to your portal for learning and employee develoopment opportunities!

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is committed to the vision of being a world leader in the natural sciences through scientific excellence and responsiveness to society's needs. Enhancing the skills of our workforce is imperative as we move into the future because our ability to succeed in our science mission and to sustain the USGS' vision depends on the skills of our people.

Employee development is a critical part of achieving the Bureau's mission, vision, and strategic goals. As part of the strategic changes implementation the Office of Employee Development (OED) was established on October 8, 2000.

Our goal is to develop and retain the USGS' most treasured asset--PEOPLE--to achieve excellent scientific and technical performance.

Our vision statement, "OED is a premier learning organization dedicated to the development of human potential and the advancement of natural sciences," says it all.

We are here for you!
