Career Development

What is career development?

Career development is about enriching your working life to reflect your changing professional and personal needs.

Why should I be interested in it?

Career development has both immediate and longer term benefits:

• Achieving higher salary
• Improving your marketability
• Minimising risk
• Enhancing job satisfaction and interest
• Positioning yourself for future job opportunities

Whose responsibility is it?

Yours! If you don't proactively manage your career development, then you are likely to miss valuable opportunities.

And if you are under any illusion that career development is the responsibility of your employer, then think again. In a recent CIPD survey, 99.8% of HR Managers said they believed that it was the individual's responsibility to manage their career.

How can I achieve it?

You need to know how you would like your career to develop in the future. You can then work out the practical steps to take in order to make it happen.
