What is a career plan?A career plan outlines the steps you need to take to reach your preferred career option. A career plan should set out:
  • what you need to do and by when in what order you need to do the activities – in particular what you are going to do NOW!
  • specific dates by which you need to make a decision or complete an activity
  • how you will check your progress against these dates
  • a way of evaluating your success or ways of making alternative plans to keep you on track
  • a way of keeping an eye on future opportunities.
An effective career plan includes:
  • a clear statement of your career goal
  • a summarised personal profile; values, interests, skills, influences on you
  • a list of current skills and qualifications
  • a list of career objectives
  • a list of additional skills or qualifications you need
  • any personal development strategies planned.
