The Career Progression document shows several job positions aligning to various levels and employee groups. You can use the document to determine where you currently are, and where you would like to be. There are no limitations to how you can move around within the framework. As an employee at McMaster University, you have many options available to you. These include:

• The ability to lateral from one level in a ladder across to a different ladder at the same level.
• Progressing diagonally from one level in a ladder upwards to a higher level in a different ladder.
• Moving upwards from one level in a ladder to a higher level in the same ladder.

Moving from one position to another is determined by the skills you’ve acquired, your experience, and the competencies required for the new position. Being prepared for a given role will position you as a good candidate when the position becomes available within the organization.
