The UGA Journeys project will create a competency-based performance management, a new job classification structure, and career progression for staff.
UGA Journeys Home Page Classification Structure

Career Progression at UGA provides a transparent, structured framework for employees to advance within their current job classification. Unlike promotions (competitive search/direct appointment) or reclassifications (permanent change in duties), career progression emphasizes growth through increased job proficiency and relevant professional development.
The UGA Journeys initiative ensures that career progression is:
- Planned and deliberate: mapped to professional goals and skill development.
- Ongoing: focused on continuous learning and improvement.
- Aligned: where organizational needs meet employee career interests (‘the sweet spot’).
