DCU Development and Career Frameworks
Supporting your development
No matter what your role in DCU, our Development Frameworks and supporting resources are designed specifically to help you plan your career and reach your full potential.
The DCU Academic Development and Promotion Framework aims to provide Faculty with clearly defined expectations regarding standards for academic career development and progression.
It serves as a tool to support both individual career planning and development conversations with Heads of School and/or mentors.
The Framework is built around the three broad domains of core academic activity within DCU:
Teaching and Learning
Research and Scholarship
Service and Contribution to University and Society
The DCU Professional Development Framework provides clarity on the behavioural competencies that lead to excellence for professional, support and administrative staff across the University. It serves as a tool for staff, managers and mentors to enhance career planning, personal development and performance conversations.
In launching the new Framework, DCU President Prof Dáire Keogh said
“As a University, we are a learning community and learning is at the core of what we do every day for our students. This framework is very significant because it gives every member of professional staff the opportunity to consider their own strengths and career development and provides tools to integrate learning and development into everyday activities.”
