The employer’s responsibility

The employer is responsible for ensuring that its employees receive training and further development. The development of personnel is an important part of the University’s personnel policy. Management is responsible for following this up.

The performance assessment interview provides a good starting point for planing and developing competence. Here courses and other competence enhancing initiatives may be discussed and incorporated in a follow-up plan.
 

Course certificates and follow up

Courses of a longer duration usually award course certificates. The length and content of the course will be decisive in this, and whether it is fits appropriately into a CV.

Follow-up days are included in a number of courses, but beyond this it is recommended that participants maintain contact at their own initiative. This supports development and is an important element in network building.

A final evaluation is made of internal seminars and courses, consisting either of written or oral assessments. The evaluation will be made use of in the planning of new courses.
