Uncovering the Mystery of Career Development

WORKSHOP DETAILS

Do the phrases of career advancement or career pathway elicit confusion, overwhelm or uncertainty? Developing one’s career path is more than changing jobs, achieving promotions, or making that one single decision that alters your life trajectory. There are many considerations and decisions made over time that direct your career pathway. This session will pull back the curtains on the actual process to developing one’s career path by contemplating needs, wants, interests, and skill development. Attendees will receive and use a workbook to enhance their learning in this session.

Together we will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the process involved in career development.

• Learn how to identify and address the core competencies needed at different stages of their careers.
• Learn the process to connecting professional development to a career pathway.
