Technician Commitment Launch Event for Technical Staff
The University is hosting a launch event for the Technician Commitment on the afternoon of the 20th May 2019 in the Sir Charles Wilson Building. This is an exciting opportunity for you to come along and hear about the Technician Commitment and how you, as a member of the Technical & Specialist job family, can get involved. The event will begin with a buffet lunch to give you a chance to network with your technical colleagues across the University. Following lunch, various speakers, including the Principal and Frank Coton (Vice Principal of Academic & Educational Innovation) will talk about the challenges facing the technical community and the University’s Action Plan that has been agreed to ensure visibility; recognition; career development and sustainability for our technician population.
In addition, our Technician Champions will be introduced and will provide an overview of their role as advocates for the Technician Commitment, helping to deliver the action plan.
We are also extremely pleased that Kelly Vere, Higher Education Engagement Manager from the Science Council will be attending to discuss what the Technician Commitment means across the Higher Education sector.
This is a free event open to all Technician’s across the University, however advance booking is required via the Eventbrite link provided below*:
