Career Development

Managing your career to many people is a contradiction in terms. Flatter organisational structures, new technologies, products, mergers and acquisitions, are all changing the corporate landscape. So what is career development in this context and more importantly how do you make it happen?
The toolkit is designed to 'inform' individuals that career development begins in their current role. It is about broadening their roles in line with the changing needs of the business. It is about being proactive, networking, seizing opportunities and using projects and secondments as a way of acquiring new skills.
Career development is about maintaining your marketability when skills have a shorter and shorter 'shelf-life'. Knowledge management is a fine concept but does it help you to manage your career ? This module and support material is geared to helping the individual take control of managing their career.
