The vision of the Foundation for Professional Development (FPD) is to build a better society through education and development. We pride ourselves on being one of the few private higher educational institutions that fully engages in the three areas of higher educational scholarship – teaching and learning, research, and community engagement. These areas of scholarship provide the three focus areas of our work:• Teaching and Learning – FPD provides a comprehensive curriculum of courses in management and professional skills development that are customised to the needs of managers and professionals. Educational products are presented through formal postgraduate qualifications, short courses, in-house courses and conferences.• Research – FPD's research priorities focus on promoting operational research, clinical research and research on educational practice.• Community engagement – This is a critical component of our work and targets areas such as: the development of grassroots NGOs, AIDS and TB treatment and care, recruitment and placement of highly skilled professionals in the public sector and civil society and developing institutional capacity within the public sector, utilizing a public-private-initiative model.
