    Technician Commitment

    Harper Adams University is a signatory of the Technician Commitment.

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

    In signing up to the commitment, Harper Adams pledges to take action in key areas:

    Visibility

    We will ensure that all technicians within the institution are identifiable and that their contributions are visible within and beyond the institution.

    Recognition

    We will support our technical staff to gain recognition through professional registration and/or accreditation.

    Career development

    We will enable career progression opportunities for technicians through the provision of clear and documented career pathways.

    Sustainability

    We will ensure the future sustainability of technical skills across the institution and that technical expertise is fully utilised.

    Evaluating impact

    We will regularly assess the impact of actions taken in support of the commitment to ensure their effectiveness.
