Job Families & Career Paths
Creating Career Pathways at Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech is committed to attracting, retaining, and fostering career growth for our staff. To achieve this, we are creating well-defined career pathways for all positions at the Institute by implementing new job families that will establish a more structured career system.
The goal of this initiative is to create a common job framework that will help us recognize and understand the various jobs and career paths within the Institute and provide transparency to support wage equity.
We’ve developed a two-phase framework for implementation.

What is a Job Family?
A Job family is a collection of jobs that are grouped by the nature of work performed. Job families can be refined into functional areas that are recognizable across industries and organizations.
This grouping helps categorize and organize roles systematically, allowing the organization to better manage its workforce, establish fair compensation structures, and plan for career development and progression.
What Does this Mean For You?
As an employee you will have a clear map of professional growth opportunities, defined career levels within a job family, and where you fall based on required qualifications and complexity of work.
This new structure empowers you to advocate for your career goals and make informed career development decisions.
Job Families' Crosswalk
The job crosswalk displays the job family, current JCCS job title, new job title, career level designation, job summary, and job duties. Wave 1 employees can view the Wave 1 job crosswalk by clicking the button below.
- Current JCCS job titles “walk” to an equivalent, updated position in the crosswalk.
