Planning for Your Future

"Career development at the University of Washington can take many forms. Whether it is taking on challenging assignments in your current position, returning to school for specialized knowledge, or developing a plan to move up the proverbial career ladder, we encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities our community has to offer."

Mindy Kornberg
Vice President
UW Human Resources

The UW is dedicated to helping people grow and flourish in their work. Our focus is on providing career development assistance to two groups:

UW leaders, whose support of employee career development is crucial to our success as a university and a community; and
UW employees, who, with help from the University, should have access to the tools and support they need to build and manage their own careers.
