FUNCTION OF THE UNIT

The Academy for Professional Excellence (Academy) is a project of SDSU Research Foundation and San Diego State University’s School of Social Work. Established in 1996 with the goal of revolutionizing the way people work to ensure the world is a healthier place, the Academy designs and delivers workforce development programs that grow the people who lead and deliver care. The Academy creates learning experiences that are culturally responsive, recovery-oriented, and immersive, empowering professionals to build skills they can apply immediately to their work. By growing the people who serve others, the Academy strengthens health, human service, and social impact organizations and transforms individuals, families and communities.

Our work spans multiple levels of workforce development, from onboarding and core training to advanced leadership programs and organizational strategy. We collaborate with public agencies, universities, Tribal Nations, community-based organizations, and public benefit corporations to create learning experiences that reflect real-world demands and contexts. We specialize in curriculum development, instructor-led training, coaching, simulation-based training, eLearnings and other asynchronous products, leadership capacity building, practice implementation support, technical assistance, evaluation, and strategic consultation. Every solution we develop with our partners is designed to make a meaningful difference in organizations and the communities they serve. Each year, over 50,000 people turn to us for learning and development that transforms individuals, families, and communities.

As a member of the Academy team you will be engaging in communal development of heart, mind, and practice. You are expected to foster culturally responsive practice behaviors to promote well-being and a culture that focuses on healing, healthy relationships and changed behaviors.

The Academy’s Strategy, Development & Organizational Advancement (SDOA) Division leads the strategic development of learning, products, and practices that strengthen our organizational culture and brand identity, nurture organizational health, and support innovation. The division builds responsive and proactive solutions in evaluation, strategy, and systems grounded in data, best practices, and collaborative partnerships.

The Academy’s Organizational Development Team within the SDOA Division designs, implements, coordinates, and facilitates initiatives that advance the Academy’s Strategic Plan with a focus on supporting and developing staff and the Academy’s growth. We form partnerships across the Academy’s three divisions and seven programs to advance the health of the organization, recruit, develop, and retain staff, ensure equitable policies and procedures, and solicit funding to transform the way we and the people we serve work.
