Non-instructional Staff Professional Development
All UW-Stevens Point (UWSP) non-instructional staff and leadership have opportunities to develop professionally. Professional development may be used to maintain and excel in a current role or aspire to a future position. Professional development is a benefit to staff and leadership, which in turn, benefits UWSP.
UWSP's goal for career development is to support and provide resources for staff to develop themselves. This includes providing resources for professional development planning and activities.

Individual Professional Development Framework
The framework provides the foundation for UW-Stevens Point staff to develop and support their short- and long-term career goals.
This framework does not elude to or guarantee any compensation increase, title change, or promotion. Thus, staffing-related changes are not a result of this framework.
