My Development Catalogue – Explore. Learn. Grow.
07 Nov 2025
Your gateway to professional and career development at Manchester
In our Your Voice Matters Survey, 47% of colleagues said their career aspirations are being met, and 68% feel equipped with the training they need. We’ve listened — and we’re acting.
Building on our strong foundations, we’re enhancing our learning and development offer to empower every colleague to thrive and build a successful career at Manchester.
This November, we are launching My Development Catalogue – a new platform where you can seamlessly browse, enrol in and complete professional development courses, earning instant certification upon completion.
How to access My Development
- Login to MyDevelopment Catalogue
- From the homepage, browse a range of courses including Essential Courses, Taking Control of your Finances, Team Coaching, Academic Advising and much more.
Essential Courses
New colleagues joining the University are enrolled in the Essentials suite each Tuesday and will receive an email invitation to join the course.
Colleagues must complete all the courses as part of their induction, and line managers are reminded to encourage completion of the suite as soon as possible. Existing colleagues will also now be sent notifications when their certificates are due to expire and reminders to redo their essentials courses.
Look out for exciting updates on our evolving learning and development offer, and this November, join our goal-setting workshops to define your ambitions and see how the new Development Catalogue can help you achieve them.
