Skills 4 Work - Creating a Career Attack Plan

A career plan helps you determine your skills and interests, what career best suits your talents, and what skills, training, information and network development you need for your chosen career. This seminar will provide you with a framework in which to plan your future direction.

Whether you have a clear career destination or not, knowing how to conceptualise career decision making for lifelong career development is important. You will be encouraged to consider some of the fundamental questions around who you are and what interests and inspires you in this discussion, and will explore a process around which to make decisions and plans for your future.
