Career Streams

Tulane's five distinctive career streams, with 5–6 levels each, were developed for the learning and growth of staff. The design includes:

  • Mapping pathways for career and professional development.
  • Providing a clear understanding of what is essential to advancing one's skills and competencies.
  • Defining universal competencies and factors across career streams:
    • Impact: The nature and scope of influence the level has on its area of responsibility.
    • Problem Solving: Degree to which the level needs to identify and devise solutions to problems and the level of autonomy to make decisions.
    • Communication and Influence: Describes the nature of communication the level is responsible for and the level of influence required.
    • Leadership: Responsibility for people's development, including supervision, training, coaching, and performance management.
    • Knowledge: Level of expertise required to fulfill level responsibilities as defined by minimum levels of formal education and/or work experience.
