What is career development

Career development is the process of choosing a career, improving your skills and advancing along a career path. It’s a lifelong process of learning and decision-making that brings one closer to his/her ideal job, skillset and lifestyle. It can also be looked at as a lifelong process of managing, learning, work and transition in order to move toward personal development and evolve in one’s professional life.

Note: Career development goes on in a cyclical manner. Where one process ends, certain demands, needs or changes in the job market may warrant another developmental process. Another developmental process can be prompted when the individual, after going through the last stage of “Performing” or self-reflection feels that he or she is not satisfied with the result or outcome of the process. 

Personal and Organizational Career Development Stratergies

Personal Career Development Strategy

As the name implies, these are conscious thoughts, ideas, activities and decisions taken by an individual, independent of any organization to develop his/her career in order to reach his/her ideal career goals.

It involves effective planning, effectively decision making, clearly stated goals, time management and deadline allocation etc .

It also involves the 5 main processes of CD. This decision/strategy is not time bound, at any point in the professional life of an individual (s)he can decide to pursue his dream/ideal career.

Organizational Career Development Strategy

This is synonymous to “on the job training”. These are strategies put in place within an organization to help employees develop professional and be able to multi task.

This gives room for a small yet competent manpower within an organization. On the part of the employees, they are open to opportunities of growth/promotion within the organization. Brite Academy can implement a strategy that all permanent staff be trained in graphics designing.

Instead of hiring someone to perform the singular role of graphics designing, all staff after haven undergone this training can conveniently perform the role of graphics designer in addition to their technical task/role
