Employees Are Flocking to These Professional Development Events
The USPS career conferences are drawing big crowds across the country this summer, offering Postal Service employees exciting opportunities for growth and networking.
At a recent event in June, 183 employees attended a Connecticut District conference — including Carlos Perez, acting customer services supervisor at the New Britain, CT, Post Office.
“There is so much knowledge in this room,” Perez said. “I’m going to work tomorrow with a richer perspective. I wish we could do these more often.”
These conferences are designed to:
- Help employees explore job opportunities and career paths
- Connect with USPS leadership
- Participate in interactive learning sessions

The Postal Service has scheduled 50 career conferences nationwide from May through August.
In California 5 District, attendance hit a record high with over 250 employees registering for the June event. Meanwhile, the Washington District welcomed nearly 160 employees.
“Even more impressive than the conference’s turnout was the engagement,” said Mina Varma, employee development manager in Seattle. “There were a lot of questions and discussions this year.”
The benefits extend beyond just attendees. Managers are finding new talent through these events.
“These events help you spot more talent,” said Jack Colwell, Connecticut District Post Office operations manager. “I’ve already spoken to a number of good candidates.”
All USPS employees are welcome to attend — off the clock.
