Career Development Fund

Staff of the University of Tennessee have the opportunity to participate in a special Career Development Fund (CDF) program supported by annual gifts from employees.

The purpose of the fund is to provide the opportunity for employees to participate in job- and career-related development activities. Monies from the fund are expended to provide total or partial support for employees' participation in approved on- or off-campus activities.

Employees are encouraged to apply to the fund for assistance when they believe participation in a program or activity will contribute to their personal and professional career growth. The Career Development Fund Committee (CDFC) reviews requests and approves funding based on the CDF Guidelines.

For further information about CDF, please contact Angela McLemore.

"The Career Development Fund has allowed us to greatly expand the professional development opportunities for our employees, at no cost to our department. Our staff has learned new skills, and it has been a tremendous asset for our College!"
