Following consultation at the Research Staff Forum in March 2011 a programme has been devised and is scheduled to run for the first time in September 2011.  The programme exists as a one day event, but it is envisaged that following the initial event in September online content will be developed to make the Induction Programme available to researchers who need it, when they need it.

The Strathclyde Mentoring Scheme is being developed for Research staff to support their career development.  It will train and support mentors and match them with appropriate mentees who volunteer to be part of the scheme.  It will also offer on-going support for mentors who are part of the Scheme as well as those who are active mentors within the University but carry out this role informally. 

This new 20 credit postgraduate module, first delivered in 2010-11, is designed to enable research staff to enhance their career development.  It forms the foundation module in a newly approved programme: the Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma in Advanced Academic Studies (Researcher Development).  The module aims to enable participants to identify their career development needs as researchers and to plan and begin to implement activities to meet those needs.

GRADnews is a monthly e-newsletter aimed at postgraduate research students within the university and features information on a wealth of internal and external career-development related opportunities available to the community.
