The development options and programs offered by the University recognise that learning is an ongoing process, requiring formal components supported by relationships, coaching, feedback, collaboration, knowledge sharing, on the job activities, stretch assignments and regular reflection.
Learning is part of our culture, to give our people every opportunity to reach their potential and maximise their careers at ACU. Supporting our staff to grow and develop is fundamental to making a positive, lasting and measurable difference to our staff and to the unique 'employee experience' we offer at ACU.
