What is Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?

This could mean honing current skills, it could mean developing them to a new level, or it could mean learning new ones that will allow an employee's job role to expand or prepare them for potential promotion.
CPD requirements are present in most professions. Most companies and organisations now prioritise them because they ensure a constantly developing workforce.
