Career Development Planning
Career Development Planning
There are different types of career development planning, from highly structured to informal and ad hoc. But no matter how career development advice and guidance is parcelled out it is a roadmap that helps the individual chart a path toward success in their chosen field. Career development planning charts a course from where the individual is now, to where they want to be long-term and what they can do to ensure a positive outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why create a career development plan?
By taking the time and making the effort to devise a career development plan you force yourself to define who you are and what you want. Only when you have a firm grasp on those concepts will you be able to create a truly effective, bespoke plan tailored to highlight your strengths and minimise your weaknesses. Bianca will be an invaluable sounding board and mentor ensuring your career development plan is grounded in the real world and optimises your chance of success.
What are the different elements of a career development plan?
The exact components of your career development plan are likely to be different than someone else’s. That said, as a general rule the career development plan includes establishing short and long-term goals, listing areas of personal development you want to focus on and establishing both a timeframe and the mechanisms for measuring success.
Is there a right time to create a career development plan?
It mostly depends on your assessment of where you are and whether or not your current efforts are yielding, or likely to yield, the kind of results you want. If you are just making your first foray into the job market a career development plan can provide a roadmap that helps you secure the right position from which to launch your career. If you feel your career has stalled then taking the time to create a career development plan to get things moving again is always a good idea. And if you are about to launch an entrepreneurial effort, career training with Bianca can instil the confidence you’ll need to see your plans through to fruition.
Is career development the same as professional development?
While there are likely to be areas where the two endeavours overlap, the truth is there are subtle yet important differences between career development and professional development. Professional development tends to refer to a more broad-based process that includes career development as well as aspects of personal development. By contrast, career development is tightly focused on formulating steps to ensure your career is progressing as you would like it to.
Is career development the same as career growth?
This is another instance where two similar terms are often used interchangeably, but they shouldn’t be. Like professional development, career growth steps back and takes a wider view of a person’s current position and how that aligns with their desired endgame. While career development is more tightly focused on making sure you take the next right step.
