How to Manage and Develop your Career
For those starting out on their career we offer a workshop which covers everything you need to start your career journey.
Career Planning
The session is very much based around the Four Stage Model which is:
- Self-Awareness
(Making sure your employees understand their values, skills and achievements and areas for development)
- Career Exploration
(Exploring different careers and routes related to their current career whether they are on an internship studying for an apprenticeship or that people are studying for)
- Decision Making Techniques
(How we have made career decisions in the past and how we will make them in the future future)
- Plan Implementation
(Having carried out the above it is then imperative to put a plan together to take things forward)
There are other elements included such as the importance of networking both online and in-person, the importance of lifelong learning, branding and keeping IT skills up to date.
