About Career Development
Career Development is a lifelong process of personal/professional growth and skill building. It prepares you to research information, build decision-making skills, strategically plan a path to a goal, and become resourceful and flexible in the face of inevitable work world changes.
Career Development requires knowing yourself and knowing what
resources out there can help you determine your true vocation. It also
includes using your imagination to visualize yourself in
various occupations…call it a “try-on-for-size” strategy to connect to
career possibilities. It introduces you to a variety of methods, such as
networking, informational interviewing and mentoring, to point you in a
career direction. It equips you with the confidence and knowledge to
redirect your efforts as circumstances or interests change.
The Career Development process is self-empowering because in addition
to gaining the practical know-how, you also find that by incorporating
your uniqueness into career decisions, you have created the conditions
for career satisfaction.
