Template Action Plans
Development Plans can be used by Departments/Schools/Institutes to identify future skills required for staff in these areas.
A development plan is a structured document that outlines the learning and development activities designed to enhance the skills, knowledge, and competencies of staff within an organisation. In a university setting, training plans are essential for ensuring that academic, administrative, technical, and support staff are equipped to meet the evolving demands of their roles. These plans help in identifying training needs, setting objectives, and tracking progress over time.
