- Abstract : Continuing professional education (CPE) focuses on both professional and personal development. Employees need technical expertise and ethical excellence to progress. In this regard, professional associations serve as a channel for realizing CPE. These associations have the potential role of adding value to professionals through skill building activities and enhancing personal virtues through the ethical values they habitually transmit through various programs. This study proposes an integral framework on CPE for professional associations. Through this framework, the study identifies association initiatives that contribute to value-adding and virtue-enhancing human resource development. Paragragh Headings: 1. Introduction 2.
