Advanced Leadership Program

The Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) was developed to assist the U.S. Postal Service in ensuring that a base of qualified and capable leaders is available for the next several years. ALP is aimed at experienced managers who exhibit high potential for increased levels of responsibility. Thus, a particular type of learner was anticipated for ALP and the program was designed consistent with those expectations.

The program seeks to develop a highly competent managerial base from which future organizational leadership will emerge.
