Where can I get funding for a CCE course?

University of Sydney professional staff employed under the Enterprise Agreement (EA) may be eligible to access the Professional Staff Development Fund (PSDF) for development opportunities that support career progression. Your department, faculty, or centre may also have local funding opportunities, so we encourage you to discuss this with your manager.

For more information on learning and development opportunities, you can contact the University's Organisational Development team.

All University staff are eligible for a 10% discount on all our courses. Please ensure you apply for the staff discount before enrolling in a course.

    What University staff say about our courses

    About the Career and Capability Framework?

    The Career Capability Framework (CCF) identifies core capabilities which reflect the University’s strategic purpose, mission and values and professional capabilities which are non-technical and underpin the requirements of a professional role.

    The CCF Professional Guide describes every Capability at each Proficiency level, defined as follows:

    • Foundational: Understanding the fundamentals of the capability, and delivering the individual’s work within specific parameters of research, area of study, or function.
    • Intermediate: Applying the capability through practical experience and knowledge, and the ability to explain and articulate the capability to others.
    • Advanced: Contributing to and driving activities at an innovative/strategic level, managing an area, with deep knowledge and understanding of the study or discipline area.
    • Expert: Leading and driving strategic level activities for the University, providing deep knowledge and experience on trends and best practices, and making a global impact.

    For more information on the Career and Capability Framework, please visit the staff intranet or view CCF FAQs.
