Career Development 22.1 Career Development is the framework for integration of career planning, career enhancement, staff development and performance appraisal for academic staff.
Career development is a self-directed activity.
It has two dimensions. Career planning is where individuals analyse their own aptitudes, skills, qualifications, interests and values and plan accordingly. Career management is where the University supports and assists both planning and achievement through supervisor and system support. Both the University and the staff member accept responsibility for career development. The career development system will integrate agreed staff member plans with opportunities realistically available to them in terms of the needs, requirements and strategic directions of the University and their Unit within it.
