'My Development' functionality is currently available only to participating departments. We are rolling this feature out in stages, please contact your local HR team/contact for more details.

‘My Development’ enables researchers to complete their Career Development Reviews (CDRs) and log their Professional Development days. The functionality aims to provide a useful, interactive record of these valuable conversations and a way for departments and faculties to support quality CDR conversations for all researchers within their subject areas.  

 

 

Key reminders

  1. After clicking SAVE/COMPLETE, wait for the green success message and dark green line to fill before proceeding. 
  2. Ellipses (…)represent additional options, usually at the end of a row. 
  3. Where the below guidance mentions CDRs, the same process can be applied to PDR forms. 

 

A Career Development Review (CDR) is a structured and confidential conversation about a researcher’s career development.  The focus of a CDR conversation is on supporting career planning and exploring personal career aspirations in any sector or in any role.  The conversation should identify career goals, opportunities to improve career prospects, routes to further career development and related skills and professional development or training objectives.
