Career Development
Welcome!
The new realities of the contemporary workplace and the contemporary worker have changed our perception and use of the concept of career.
Career development is now viewed as complex and multidimensional, involving growing through life and work - an interweaving of learning, experiencing, living, working, changing, and identifying and discovering pathways.
Thus career development can be seen as the creation of an individual's life/work designs.
What's New!
Designing your Career
When imagining your future, you can use the design process and powerful critical thinking skills to create and develop a successful and rewarding career and life plan. The design process allows you to learn and practice thinking strategies to help build confidence as you confront challenges and quick pivots in rapidly changing times. The design process can help you develop a mindset to learn and grow from experiences.
