HEaTED’s Competency Assessment Toolkit for Technical Staff (CATTS)
17
Received many requests for help with organisational and individual performance assessment In response to these requests, and a wider UK need, we have developed a new resource exclusively for HEaTED members Background
18
CATTS has been designed to change the way that the professional technicians in HE (and FE) explore performance It provides a benchmark for all professionals (regardless of specialism or discipline) of their current competencies, development areas, and future direction Background
19
Resource pack/Toolkit to help Managers assess current competency and plan for future demands and needs It requires a shift in thinking from the traditional annual appraisal process to more of a continuous review process which aims to deliver excellence through an ongoing conversation around performance, capability and capacity What is it?
20
The toolkit addresses 5 key competency areas as modules: 1.Professional Practice 2.The Student Experience 3.Leadership and Management 4.Planning and organising resources 5.Governance and compliance (incl.H&S) Within each module there are 5 levels of competency for the reviewee to be matched against: 1.Learner 2.Experimentalist 3.Practitioner 4.Specialist 5.Expert Using CATTS
21
Roll out… Raising awareness via the regional networks Looking for pilot sites / volunteers to evaluate the toolkit For sale from November Workshop at HEaTED Conference

4. Supporting Professional Registration
27
What is it all about? Important milestone for all vocational and technical staff Response to many calls that technicians do not feel valued or recognised as professionals Establishing proven knowledge, expertise and commitment to professional standards Evidence-based Overseen by Science / Engineering Councils Categories: RSciTech, RSci, CSci; EngTech, ICTTech, REng, CEng
28
Why should I get involved? Recognition as a professional in your field Improved self-motivation, career opportunities and salary prospects Greater influence within your organisation and industry Confirmation that you are highly competent in your field Connecting you with innovative, influential and inspirational people International recognition of qualifications
29
