At UC Berkeley and in Student Affairs, we believe in investing in staff and the positive impact it has on the individual and the organization as a whole. The resources below take a comprehensive approach to help Student Affairs staff visualize, organize, plan, and execute their goals. These resources are designed to:
- Improve access to and engagement with career development resources among SA staff.
- Equip staff and managers with structure, templates, and guides to make staff learning & development planning simple and effective.
- Manage and distribute divisional resources for staff development as equitably as possible, and with the greatest impact to individuals and the organization.
