Today, you are receiving the first edition of the new Institute for Learning, Education and Development's (ILEAD) The Weekly Educator newsletter. ILEAD has officially launched as a new and enhanced education program office in VHA. ILEAD was formed through a reorganization of the legacy Employee Education System (EES) and Healthcare Leadership Talent Institute (HLTI) and resides within the Office of Human Capital Management.
ILEAD’s mission is to best care for Veterans as a high-performing organization that delivers exceptional learning, education and development to every VHA employee throughout their career life cycle. What does this mean for VHA?
ILEAD supports the life cycle of an employee’s career journey within VHA, providing virtual and in-person training, products, services and cohort-based experiential development opportunities for employees in all phases of their career. This responsibility extends from entry-level, through mid-career, to aspiring and new supervisors and managers, and for budding, future and current senior leaders at the executive level.
ILEAD has combined the subscribers of both legacy EES and HLTI newsletters to this publication so they can be informed of all the education ILEAD provides. Keep an eye out for a more formal announcement with the launch of the new website and associated client and learner resources soon.
Thank you for your continued interest in VHA education and development and ILEAD offerings.
