WHAT IS CAREER PLANNING?

Career planning is a tool used to get the most out of your career options. It is not a one-time single event. Career planning is, rather, an ongoing process you will visit and revisit throughout your professional life. It is not limited to a specific industry or job level. Furthermore, it is the basis for professional development and training pathway.

Successful career planning involves assessing your strengths, weaknesses, personality, and career interest. Personality assessments such as John Holland’s Personality Type can be employed to explore career options. These tools are designed to assess what type of work would best suit you. They place focus on your assets, personality, and values.
