This procedure describes the process involved in planning, applying for, participating in, evaluating and reporting on professional development. It also includes the process for maintaining a professional development record for each staff member.

The procedure aims to ensure that:

	professional development is aligned with the TAFE’s Strategic Planning processes
	staff have the requisite qualifications and/or competencies
	staff are equipped with the knowledge of current and future trends, and skills in their area of expertise
	access to professional development is fair and equitable and available to teaching and non-teaching staff
	knowledge and skills gained through professional development are shared with colleagues

Professional development opportunities are provided for teaching staff as required in their enterprise agreement.

The procedure applies to professional development activities for ongoing and contract staff and, where specified, to sessional or casual staff.
