Career development

Career planning and development

Career development is the continual process of managing your learning, leisure and work to progress through your life. It includes gaining and using the skills and knowledge you need to plan and make informed decisions about education, training and work. With so many choices, it can be challenging to know what direction you should take.

Whether you’re thinking about taking your first steps into the world of work, looking for a career change or striving for bigger and better things in your current occupation,  having a career plan will help you reach your goals.
