Development Planning in the IET Career Manager is broken

Simon Barker
I wonder if anyone else has ever tried to use the Development Planning section of the IET Career Manager, as it seems hopelessly broken at the moment.


I can select "Development Planning" under "My Development".  It presents 3 options down the left-hand side.  If I select "Development Overview" it lists three types of development: "UK-SPEC Objectives", "Job Role Objectives" and "CPD Planning - Set Objectives & Actions".


I can then select "Development Planning" on the left-hand side.  It now offers me two (not three) types of development: "UK-SPEC" or "CPD Objectives".  There is no option for "Job Role Objectives", so there's no way to create them.


Actually, there's no way to create "UK-SPEC" objectives either.  If I select "UK-SPEC" objective, it gives me the instructions on how to create an objective without actually having the option to do so anywhere on the screen - I'm supposed to click on a "set objective" link, but that just brings up the same instructions again.  If I select "CPD Objectives" instead, it takes away the instructions, and gives the option to create a CPD Objectives folder.


So in the end, of the three types of objectives listed, the only ones I can actually create are the CPD ones.


Edit: I've tried it on Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox, on more than one Windows 7 machine.

    Simon,


    In order to set objectives against a job role profile or against a UK-SPEC framework, you would first need to build a job role profile (in the job role section) and undertake an assessment against UK-SPEC in Professional Registration Assessment in order to set UK-SPEC objectives; the reason for this is you need to assess your current levels in order to work toward the next level - if you have no experience in an area then you can set your assessment level at "No Experience" to work toward Trainee Level.


    I have passed your feedback on to the Career Manager team as well, as the guidance in this area is not clear.  I hope this helps, if you have any further queries then please don't hesitate to contact the Career Manager team at: career-manager@theiet.org


    Kind Regards,
