Technician Commitment

What is it?

The Technician Commitment is a university and research institution initiative, led by a steering board of sector bodies with support from the Science Council and the Technicians Make It Happen campaign. The commitment aims to ensure visibility, recognition, career development and sustainability for technicians working in higher education and research, across all disciplines.

The 国产吧精品福利 of Brighton recognises it has a highly skilled technical workforce that is essential to its success, which is why the university became a signatory to the Technician Commitment in 2019.

国产吧精品福利 aim and action plan

The development of the technical community at the 国产吧精品福利 of Brighton is a fundamental part of the university’s strategy for developing our staff talent. It has been embedded in the previous university strategy and forms part of the strategic goals for the next five years.
