The DCTU Professsional Development Fund (PDF) is established by Article 33 of the DCTU collective bargaining agreement (DCTU Labor Agreement) between DCTU  and the City of Portland to promote professional development for DCTU represented employees. The DCTU  Professional Development Committee is established in accordance with Article 33 of the DCTU CBA to review, approve and communicate funding requests for professional development as it pertains to an employee’s current position, for another City position in their classification series, or in reasonably related work. For details, please refer to the DCTU Professional Development Plan Document.

NOTE: To keep the fund in compliance with Accounting Rules, employees must pay for the request.
If your request will be paid for by your bureau, please do not submit a request for funding. This keeps the fund in compliance with Accounting Rules per the City Comptroller.
