Developing talent internally is a key component of our success at GitLab, and our promotion and transfer process is built to support that development in alignment with our [values](/handbook/values/). Team members have two main avenues to pursue career advancement at GitLab: 1) Via our cyclical [promotion calibration process](/handbook/people-group/promotions-transfers/#calibration), and 2) by applying and interviewing for open positions.
We encourage team members to take control of their own career advancement, and are empowered to own their development. Team members are encouraged to utilize the [Individual Growth Plan](/handbook/people-group/learning-and-development/career-development/#individual-growth-plan) as a tool to articulate and align with their manager on the skills they want to develop as they think about growing into a different or larger role.
This page captures information about transfers, promotions, realignments.
