Planning Your Development
As part of your ongoing professional development it is important to make time to develop/enhance your skills which will make you more efficient and proficient in the long term.
Research Skills & Career Development Planning is the process by which you and your PI/Mentor will meet to discuss and agree development for the duration of your time in UCD. The process provides a means of taking a proactive approach to the continuous development of your skills. With some planning and support from your PI/Mentor, you can take advantage of development opportunities that are relevant in the context of your current research area and longer term career aspirations.
To kick start the process, you should first complete a self-assessment (Section One of Planning Document below) of their current development using the four core competencies as a framework for reflection. This self-assessment will help to identify current development needs and pinpoint areas for development over the next 9-12months.
