Working Group Resource—Building the CE/CPD Workforce of the Future: Defining Roles, Expectations, and Resources

This resource offers accredited providers practical guidance on how to build, support, and sustain strong CPD/CE teams. Developed by the Learn to Thrive 2025 Working Group Building the CE/CPD Workforce, it brings together the expertise of your CE colleagues, current market data, and key findings from the 2024 ACCME CPD/CE Workforce Survey.

What you’ll gain from this resource:

  • A clearer view of CE/CPD career stages: Explore entry-level, mid-level, and advanced-level roles, including typical responsibilities, qualifications, and factors that can influence compensation and progression.
  • A framework for building stronger teams: Use the resource to clarify role expectations, support career growth, and consider how the right combination of roles and skills can strengthen your CE/CPD program.
  • A more intentional approach to staffing: Consider how to build teams with the capabilities to measure outcomes, improve programs, and connect CE/CPD with your organization’s strategic goals.

Initiated at our 2025 annual meeting, the Working Group presented this timely resource this past May at Learn to Thrive 2026—reflecting a simple but important idea: CE/CPD programs are stronger when roles and skills are intentionally aligned with what they need to accomplish.
