DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Joining the CSIR is a lifetime investment in your personal growth and professional development as we are committed to the continuing development of our human resources, encouraging and supporting staff in further studies - both in their technical specialisation and in skills in leadership, business management, communication, etc.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
The number of doctorates and Master’s qualifications held by our staff bears testimony to our commitment towards research and professional excellence and has shown a year-on-year increase. We have several development programmes to ensure that rich, ongoing learning opportunities are an integral part of day-to-day work practices.

CAREER LADDER
Providing career development opportunities for staff is of paramount importance. The CSIR utilises a system of professional job ladders to clearly map out career growth opportunities based on skill, performance, qualifications and experience. It facilitates the process of career development and provides a dynamic recognition and reward system that relates to the contribution and performance of staff.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
At the CSIR you are behind the wheel of your future – you decide where to go and how fast you want to get there. Your qualifications, the leadership you show, evidence you have generated knowledge, your role in human capital development, the societal and technical impact you have created, and the funding you have attracted – all these manageable factors contribute to the direction your career will take.

TRAINING
The CSIR facilitates continuous learning and development. A series of programmes,
including induction sessions, special learning events, seminars and conferences,
are facilitated regularly to keep staffmembers informed and up to date.
