The Marazon Professional Development System (PDS) is a simple yet comprehensive portfolio system that enables employees to manage their own professional development while on the job. The PDS gives employees a systematic approach to recording, interpreting, summarizing, and reporting personal and career planning and assessment data.

The PDS helps employees organize personal planning and assessment data under the heading of “Personal Development”. Personal Development is supported across six domains of human development. These domains include Affective, Social, Creative, Cognitive, Language, and Physical development.

Career planning and assessment data is organized under the heading of “Career Development”. Career development is supported across an employee’s Marazon practice and job-related activities. Together, the areas of Personal and Career Development comprise the employees Professional Development.

The self-directing nature of the PDS enables employees to take control of their own personal and career development. The System helps them recognize their successes in meeting their everyday job responsibilities. It helps them accept and celebrate the gifts they bring to their job. Finally, the Marazon PDS provides employees with documentation of their on-going personal and career development.
 
Administratively, the PDS enables employers to easily authenticate their employees’ professional development activities through meaningful employee conferences. Administrators are able to support and challenge employees to continually strive reach their full potential in terms of their career and their personal development.
