What are competencies?Competencies are the skills, attributes and behaviours that are essential for success. Why do we need them?By clearly defining which competencies are necessary for success for us at Unitec, we can target our development efforts, individually, as a team and as an organisation. What does this mean for me?At Unitec we have developed three sets of competencies: |
||
 |
The Unitec Leadership Competencies apply to all staff at Unitec – recognising that we are all leaders at all levels. They are the skills, attributes and behaviours that we want everybody to be demonstrating to help us achieve the aspirations we have as an organisation. | |
 |
Unitec Teaching Competencies apply to all teaching staff. They define effective teaching at Unitec and enable us to demonstrate our professionalism as educators in a more structured way. | |
 |
The Unitec Research Competencies are intended to help research staff recognise their existing research competencies and build on these in a process of continuous development. | |
|
Role / Discipline Specific Competencies |
There may be other role- or position-specific competencies that also apply depending on your position – for example, professional or technical competencies relevant to their industry or vocation. Your manager can help you identify these. |
|
Our core competencies are integrated into our Performance Partnering process and you are required to self-evaluate against the relevant set of competencies in preparation for your ADEP conversations.
These competency evaluations are a hugely useful input to your development conversations and in particular, development planning – the D of ADEP.
