The newest module for Watermark Faculty Success, Faculty Career Pathways, is a faculty lifecycle management solution that centralizes faculty career tracks, timelines, and milestones in one place that’s accessible to faculty, administrators, and leaders. Support the success of your faculty and your institution by ensuring timely promotions, efficient career administration, effective planning, and clear visibility for all.

• Provide a visual of career tracks to faculty and administrators.
• Easily categorize and identify career milestones,exceptions, and results across your institution.
• Increase efficiency with a simple tool to map those career paths in a reusable, versioned way that will grow with your institution.
• Map faculty to the right tracks easily using the information you’re already capturing in Faculty Success.
• View and adjust faculty timelines based on their unique career events.

Provide faculty with visibility into career paths

Today faculty turn to colleagues, word of mouth, and crosschecking complex handbooks with tables of key dates to figure out the steps and path to succeed in their careers. It’s stressful at best, and error-prone at worst, to navigate high-stakes milestones without crystal-clear direction. With Faculty Career Pathways, you can give your faculty members that visibility and confidence that they need with visual representations of their progression through the milestones, requirements, and timelines for their specific career track. This enhanced transparency into their career progress and future requirements equips faculty to anticipate and prepare for their next milestone and its requirements, and have more informed conversations with their supervisors and mentors. Ensure faculty opportunities aren’t missed and help faculty stay on track by giving them the tools they need to understand and manage their careers.

• Visualize your career progression and upcoming milestones
• Click in to review the requirements for each milestone or event

Save administrative time and reduce errors

Move away from highly manual spreadsheets that waste time and introduce errors. With Faculty Career Pathways, it’s easy to map faculty tracks in a reusable way that will grow with your institution, so you can reclaim valuable time to invest in other aspects of your role. The tool also allows you to easily map new faculty members to preconfigured career tracks, and adjust faculty timelines based on any unique career events.

• Create a default timeline to outline common milestone events, like reviews, for a specific faculty track. 
• Quickly align faculty to their career path. Use faculty attribute data you already have in Faculty Success – like rank and tenure status – to refine the list of applicable career paths and make the right match.
• Easily drill down to make adjustments based on the faculty member’s unique career events, like a leave of absence, without affecting the timelines for others.
