Career Mobility

At Harvard, we believe that career development is a process where employees strategically explore, plan, and create their future paths with feedback and guidance from their managers -- along with information and resources from the University.

Current staff members are encouraged to use the resources available – including your manager, Human Resources, and training and education opportunities – and to see Harvard as an active partner in advancing your career. We’re committed to internal mobility for staff members, whether that means growing in place by exploring new responsibilities and enrichments, or advancing to a new position.

As you consider internal opportunities, perhaps you’ll be interested in using tuition assistance to study for and receive a degree. Or, perhaps you’ll be looking for learning and development opportunities to help you prepare for a different position, or provide skills training for a stretch position. Whatever path you may decide to choose, there are various resources available to you to ensure your growth and success here at Harvard. To note, there are additional training opportunities available for those at the managerial level, such as the Universal Manager Training Program, which afford you with the opportunity to learn and network with other managers and leaders across the university.

If you are ready to do your part to advance yourself, we’re ready to help you pursue the future you want! To learn more about career options and resources for current employees, please visit our Career Development page.
