Ways people move at NCG
Promotion
You move up a level, usually in the same team, because you're consistently working at the next level's expectations.
Transfer
You move to a different role or team, often at a similar level. Great for building new skills across the co-op.
Title Change
Your title is updated to better reflect the work you already do. Your level may stay the same.
Re-classification
Your role itself is re-evaluated because the work has grown or changed, and it's placed at the right level.
Build your plan (IDP)
What's an IDP?
A short plan you and your manager write together: the skills you want to build, why they matter to you, and the steps you'll take this year. It's yours, and it connects to your annual review in Lattice.
