Managing Your Career: For All Employees
Overview

‹ | Accountability ›

As a major research university of growing national and international stature, UIC depends on every employee to help drive and shape our future success. In recognition of our values and standards of excellence, five Core Competencies have been identified that are fundamentally important to the performance of each of our employees and to our entire organization.

The Core Competencies are the foundation from which employees build and enhance skills, knowledge, and abilities, and are the basis for how employee performance is measured throughout the employee review process. Additional competencies, beyond the core five, are identified for those employees in Manager and Executive roles.

All employees are expected to exhibit an initial level of proficiency in each Core Competency and to demonstrate increasing proficiency as their career at UIC advances.

Beginner
Non-management with less than 3 years tenure
Intermediate
Non-management with 3+ years tenure and all managers or supervisors
Advanced
Management with 5+ years tenure

See the description page for each Core Competency for a definition, behavioral descriptors, and resources for aiding in the development of your proficiencies.
