You will apply what you have learned about values, skills, and goal setting to make a career action plan
Career Action Plan
Refer to the values, skills, and goals sections of your IDP and take some time to think seriously about where you would like to be in your future career and how you will get there. Once you have generated some ideas, create a career action plan in which you specifically focus on all of the following (before you begin, note that all of your goals must be SMART goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely.):
Provide a title
Provide a long-term career goal (Slide 2): Your career goal should be a goal that you can realistically accomplish in approximately 27 years. Please keep in mind that this must be a career goal, not an academic or personal goal.
Insert your current skills My Present
Refer to the skills section of your IDP.
o Explain where you are right now in terms of your career progress.
o What current strengths and weaknesses can you identify?
o What current skills and experiences do you have that make you stand out?
This question is important because it will help you to establish a clear picture of your current skills, experiences, and areas for improvement as well. You will want to make sure to reflect upon recent course readings, discussions, and activities that have helped you to recognize your strengths, weaknesses, interests, and abilities.
Break your goals down into short and long term My Future
Make sure that you delineate how the long-term objectives are reached by breaking them down into short-term goals of 1 month to 2 years per the IDP, and long-term goals from 2 to 7 years as shown in the IDP. Note the connections between the goals.
Provide the strategy and process My Path
Describe your strategy for success by explaining the route you will take to move from point A (my present), to point B (progress towards achieving goals), to point C (achievement of short-term goals), and all the way to point D (achievement of long-term goals). Make sure to also identify at least two specific career resources from the Unit 9 reading that you might make use of as you are working towards achieving your career goal and explain why these resources will be helpful.
Provide your action plan My Actions
What are some of the steps or actions you will need to complete to get your desired outcome (minimum three steps/actions)? Make sure to include a projected completion date for each step/action. Include a mix of short-term and long-term action items/completion dates.
