The Strategic Technical Platform for University Technical Professionals (STEP-UP), funded by UKRI, aims to plug gaps in recruitment and nurture retention.
Imperial is also part of the new UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Strategic Technical Platform, led by Professor Robert Richardson at University of Leeds. This aims to elevate the technical knowledge, skills, and career development of RTPs in the field of robotics and autonomous systems.
Through our Talent and Culture department, we have had high staff engagement through our development, coaching and training courses. This year, a new Professional Services Senior Leadership Development Programme was launched, with a focus on creating experiential skills and value-based leadership development. The goal of the new programme is to build a diverse and collaborative cohort with representation from all areas of professional services.
