Career Development Week - Nov 13-17

Learning and Development is excited to host its second annual Career Development Week (CDW) for employees at both UC Davis Campus and UC Davis Health from November 13-17.

This week-long conference provides in-person and virtual events that include keynote speakers, interactive workshops, a panel discussion, and five networking events, with multiple events each day. The goal of Career Development Week is to highlight the resources employees have access to in order to advance and grow their careers on the UC Davis Campus and at UC Davis Health. 

Ultimately, participants can expect to

  • Increase their ability to plan for and navigate career journeys at UC Davis and UC Davis Health.
  • Apply new skills and insights as they work on their professional and career goals.
  • Access resources and opportunities that support their learning and growth at UC Davis and UC Davis Health.

Taking Action on Your Feedback

Career Development Week started as a direct response to the 2022 Campus Staff Experience Survey and the 2023 Health CommUNITY Feedback surveys, which identified “Career Development and Growth” as a top priority for UC Davis. Learning and Development is taking positive actions to improve in this area by not only developing  Career Development Week, but also hiring a full time Career Coach to support staff with their career development. This year, Career Development Week will offer more opportunities to participate, both virtually and in-person.
