Your career
pathway Ladder progression

Career Pathways is designed to raise awareness of

the skills, behaviours and competencies required to
succeed in your current role and to help you develop
in your career at AECOM. The Career Pathways
framework will provide you with meaningful content to
help you own and manage your personal, professional
and career development. Examples of linear career paths

Lattice progression
Career Pathways should be used alongside one-to-one discussions with your
manager to discover more about your possible next career move and the areas you
might need to focus on in order to progress. Talk to your line manager if you are not
clear of the profile that best suits your role.

Diagonal and horizontal movement across career pathway groups and roles is
encouraged. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to progress your career. There are
flexible career path choices where an employee creates his or her own pathway.
Cross functional formal learning experiences support all AECOM professionals to
develop their skills, they should be mapped to AECOM’s behavioural competency
and career pathway framework.

goals
An important part of determining where you want to take your career is setting clear
objectives outlining the steps you will take to succeed. You and your manager will set
your priorities and have ongoing progress and development conversations. It is your
responsibility to seek clarification on any goals or expectations and work with your
manager to understand your strengths and development opportunities.

Development goals identify the skills or experiences that will help you be more
effective in your current role and make progress on your career goals.

Before you start, think about:

Learning on the job

Formal training courses and new tasks, projects or responsibilities at work may
offer you the chance to develop new skills or build on existing ones, but these are
not the only way to learn at work.

Successful learners will seek to create opportunities through discussions with

managers or work shadowing colleagues. In fact, anything that extends your
knowledge or allows you to use this knowledge in practice can contribute to
developing your development.

These may include:

Preparing and presenting reports

Broadening technical knowledge

Job shadowing

Mentoring

Developing your business acumen

Undertaking design tasks

Formal training courses

Asking your manager for new assignments and responsibilities

relevant to your priorities

Asking to take on specific tasks or projects to broaden your

expertise and improve your competencies

Looking for ways to expand your job — like championing a new

idea or initiative, or making a presentation on behalf of your
manager or department

Challenging assignments are most likely to be remembered as

developmental

23
AECOM

Coaching

A coaching conversation with your manager can help you improve your
performance, overcome obstacles, solve problems and focus on your career
development. Coaching doesn’t have to be a lengthy or formal discussion; in
fact, frequent conversations are more effective. These informal conversations
can take place in the hallway or part of regular one-on-one meetings. In this
two-way discussion, ask your manager questions, share information and
engage in the conversation when your manager asks questions or provides a
new perspective. Coaching is not a conversation where your manager will tell
you what to do or where he or she has all the answers.

A coaching conversation is effective when you come up with your own

solutions to problems, identify new approaches and ask for the support you
need to better reach your goals. Development can come from many sources.

24
 Talent Development // Your Career Development Guide

Formal Learning

Formal learning is normally delivered by accredited training professionals in a

systematic intentional way within a workshop (classroom) environment. Formal
learning can also take shape using online learning platforms such as AECOM
