You are in good company when it comes to developing a plan for your career at Campus Life Services and UCSF. Your supervisor and the organization are here to support you.
As an employee, the first step is to recognize that you are responsible for actively managing your career. Your supervisor is responsible for encouraging and supporting you and helping you to find the best match between your talents and the needs of the campus. The University is responsible for creating and providing opportunities for growth based on performance, talent, and potential, and for encouraging mobility between job families and departments.
The next step is to complete a CLS Career Development Plan (CDP). To help you get started, we’ve provided the template, a Guide, and a webinar recording all about developing your CDP.
