Staff Development

The strong relationship between a highly successful organisation and its commitment to developing the capabilities of its staff is well recognised. The University of Chichester provides opportunities for all staff to learn and develop within the context of the overall University Strategy.

As an employee at the University of Chichester you will be able to access a broad range of training and development opportunities including, but not limited to, sessions advertised in the Staff Development Programme, a centrally organised programme of events that run throughout the academic year.

The professional development teams at Chichester College and the University of Chichester have been working closely together to extend significantly opportunities for staff. Some of the events will be delivered jointly; others will be held at the College or at the University, but either way, staff at the College and the University will be able to access each other’s development programmes. Further development opportunities will be jointly developed between the University and Chichester College throughout this coming year.
