UCOP Staff Development Program

The program is directed at high potential non-supervisory staff who are committed to expanding their knowledge into functional areas of UCOP, and continue to develop additional skills in a small cohort environment.

Currently no sessions have been confirmed for 2019.

Who

The program is open to 10 qualified individuals, who will be selected through an application process. The time commitment will be approximately 8–16 hours per month,

What

The program has two primary components:

• The first consists of a series of instructor-led workshops, aimed at building certain skills and competencies. Curriculums have been developed within UCOP HR Learning and Development standards and are tailored to the non-supervisory high potential employees at UCOP.
• The second component is the completion of a team project, always a “real UCOP problem to be solved.” The project culminates in a report out to the project’s sponsoring senior leader. Examples of past projects include: revision of campus direct billing process, guidelines for a UCOP student internship program and the green department certification program.

Nomination Process

Potential participants may either be nominated or self-nominate.  Supervisor support is critical for success because of the time requirements and the benefits of ongoing support in applying new skills.
