You want to grow, and we want you to grow. But how can you take charge of your career growth and learning? What opportunities are available? What skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences will help you advance?
Career development encompasses both personal and professional growth - not only acquiring new skills and knowledge, but also advancing in one’s career path through opportunities for promotion, lateral moves, expansion of responsibilities, leadership development, and more.
Begin with a plan
Take time to create a professional Development Plan (PDP) to establish both your career development goals and a strategy to meet them. This process includes identifying unique strengths, clarifying professional development goals, identifying resources and strategies to reach your goal(s), and developing a plan of action for realizing your goals. Explore the resources provided to learn more about the planning process and get started on developing your own PDP.
