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

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 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.
