Staff Development Capabilities

As part of the N-TUTORR project within ATU, we carried out a number of measures to improve staff development. A training needs analysis was sent to all staff as the first part of a consultation to gauge the current status of SD within the university and identify and key trends or significant barriers that are stopping staff accessing or completing training. (Infographic and JPEG attached to be embedded into the page.)

Tied with these results we opened a Training Fund call to Senior Management, this was to enable them to design, deliver or improve any staff development project they had, 23 applications were successful covering all locations of the university and all of the N-TUTORR themes. These range from equipping academic staff with the latest industry standards to creating a university wide training programme in trauma informed practice.

The roll out of this included consultation with the IR forums and other management groups. The responses from this has lead to key priorities for 2024 including the development of a unified “Training Hub” that will unify all of our training programmes delivered across the university, further qualitative consultation groups with staff around the creation of training plans and the further consolidation and collaboration between all of ATU Staff Development functions.(
