What Is Career Development and How Can You Drive Your Career?
Where do you see yourself professionally in one year—three years—or five years? What skills do you hope to learn? What’s the next step to move forward in your career? What does success look like for you?
All of these questions are important to ask when considering and planning your career development, or the long-term trajectory of your career toward personally defined goals.
Those who sit back and leave their career development to fate or chance likely won’t end up where they hope to be. The most fulfilled and successful professionals take the reins of their career development and make deliberate steps toward realizing their career goals.
And that’s exactly what this lesson is about. Not only will you learn what career development is and why it matters, but you’ll also explore how to take control of your career so that you can increase your chances of creating a career that’s personally rewarding and fulfilling, and aligns with your definition of success.
