Introducing systematic, individual career development strategies, both for permanent and temporary staff, is increasingly promoted at institutional level. It is seen as a natural part of your post to continue pursuing a professional development. Institutions provide a variety of internal courses for their staff, but it varies how far the institutions have come in introducing systematic, individual career development strategies. Examples of courses at individual institutions are:
- Teacher training courses
- Courses on supervision
- Development program for research leaders
- Department leadership
- Careere development courses for female researchers
- Mentoring programmes for female researchers
- Courses of personal effectiveness
- Academic English
There are also national courses provided by the Norwegian Association of Norwegian Higher Education Institutions:
