Development Process and so on.



Also we have explained how anyone can choose his or her career, choosing

Introduction

Career Development is a “continuous lifelong process of developmental

experiences that focuses on seeking, obtaining and processing information

about self, occupational and educational alternatives, life styles and role

options”. Put another way, career development is the process through which

people come to understand them as they relate to the world of work and their

role in it.

This career development process is where an individual fashions a work

identity. In America, we are what we do, thus it becomes a person’s identity.It is imperative when educating our young people that our school systems

assist and consider the significance of this responsibility for our youth and

their future. The influences on and outcomes of career development are one

aspect of socialization as part of a broader process of human development.



The process of career development can be both exciting and intimidating at

the same time. Like many worthwhile endeavors the trick is to take it one

step at a time. We view career development as a life-long process. So we are

glad that you are learning how to successfully negotiate this process now.

What Is Career Management?

The process for enabling employees to better understand and develop

their career skills and interests, and to use these skills and interests more

effectively. Career management is the lifelong process of investing resources

to achieve your career goals.

Whether we are in the early phase of our work life or are a workforce

veteran, we have probably heard the term career management. We have also

probably heard that in the future we need to be responsible for our careers.What we may not have been told is what career management is and how we

do it! Career management uses concepts similar to good financial

management. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that a disciplined

investment, made on a regular basis, yields a greater return. Although the



tactics will vary, career management focuses on two key investment assets

to manage throughout our working years, our personal lifelong learning and

our network of relationships.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Career development programs tend to have a new focus today. Corporate

career development programs used to focus on the employee’s future with

that particular firm—in other words, on managing the person’s career with

the firm. Today the reality for most people is that they’ll have to change

employers (and perhaps careers) several times during their work lives. The

emphasis now is thus on facilitating self-analysis, development, and

management.

For the employer, the career development partnership serves several

functions. As two experts put it, “employers provide the tools, environment,

and skill development opportunities for employees, and then employees are

better equipped to serve the company and build it to its potential. Career



development may also cultivate employee commitment. Often, one of the

best things an employer can do to maintain employee commitment is to

emphasize how the company will partner with the employee in continuously

developing his or her skills and knowledge. “The most attractive proposition

an employer can made today is that in five years the employee will have

more knowledge and be more employable than now. That should be the acid

test for any career development program.”

Career Development Process

The Career Planning/Competency Model animates individuals to investigate

and take information that enables them to synthesize, gain competencies,

take decisions, set goals and take action. Each individual fluctuates in their

progress through each of these stages for several reasons. Some improve

quickly through each or all of the stages while others progress more slowly.

Individuals may repeat all or parts of the career development process at

diverse points throughout their lives as values, interests, abilities, and life

circumstances change.

What do we mean by “career development process”?

Career originally meant a road, or a course to be traveled. In time it began to

mean a course of achievement within a profession. Through the first seventy-five



years of the twentieth century, career referred to a professional occupation yielding

both money and a respected position in which one could advance. (From this

perspective, some people had “careers” while others merely had “jobs.”) However,

for the last quarter-century career has been viewed more broadly, encompassingwork, leisure and other life-span dimensions. Now it is generally agreed that

everyone has a career.

Information literally refers to the communication of knowledge, usually

obtained from data, or through study or instruction. Sound career decisions depend

on sound information and knowledge, both about self and the world of work.

Although self refers to internal motivations, interests and values, we often use

formal and informal theory-based instruments to make them explicit.

Roadmap to Success!Your roadmap to success begins with planning your career development process. There are

many approaches you can take to accomplish this.

The picture below represents a logical, step-by-step process designed to help you as you

plan your career development process now, and anytime in the future when you want to

change course. For example, you may want to be a manager in a large corporation, andthen decide in a few years you'd really like to be an interior designer.

Some steps will be easier for you than others. Taking time now to work through each of the

steps will help build a solid foundation for your future. Writing your thoughts down can

sometimes help you brainstorm ideas. Some of this may seem a little overwhelming, and

with so many obligations, how will you have the time? If you set aside a small amount of

time (30 minutes) each day, you will make progress.

1. Self-Assessment. Discover your desires and passions. What would you do if money were

no object? You may know exactly what you want to do. If so, move on to the next step. If

you're struggling with this, there are some free and fee - based self - assessment tests

available to help you.

1. Career Skill Assessment. This sounds similar to the self-assessment, but rather than

focusing on your personality and interests, career skill assessments focus on your core job

strengths and weaknesses. Again, there are free and fee - based career skill assessment

tests available to help you with this step.

2. Setting Your Career Objective. Now that you understand your personality, interests,

skills and strengths, it's time to make a decision! You may want to explore different

career options to discover your best choice.

3. Career Development Plan. The nuts and bolts of planning your career development

process. Set goals and timelines based on your career objective. Look at an example

career development plan , or use the career development plan template to help you work

through this step.

cover letter and job interview questions.

5. Get the Most Out of your Career. To get the most out of your new career, planning

strategies and learning skills will help you get to the next level. We've also created a free

motivation you need to make a positive change

THE STAGES IN CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Directions by the parents, teachers, friends, film, etc has great influences. In this

period the number of expectations of one’s career is developed. Exploration

Establishment:

This stage covers about 10 years from the age of 25. In this stage the individual

looks for job & tries to get settled in some organization. Consists of uncertainties

and anxieties, and increased responsibilities. During this stage person tries to

establish a place in society & work for career advancement. Work at a lower level

Establishment

This stage is a lot of challenges and stressful. Search for new life goals. Get greater

responsibilities and attractive and appreciable rewards. Level where employer

identify talents for higher position. Mid-Career

Late-Career:



Stage continues for about 20 years from mid- forties. Career graph of an individual

may be characterized by growth Holding senior position Individual having varied

experience& learning Decreased work mobility and will be locked in their current

jobs. Late-Career

Career Development Model

● Step One: Self-Assessment

The first step in the Career Planning Model comprehends to accumulate information about

you to attend in making a decision about a career. You should elaborate an understandingof self including values, interests, aptitudes, abilities, personal traits, and desired life style,

and become aware of the interrelationship between self and occupational choice.

● Step Two: Academic/Career OptionsThe second step permits individuals to explore the world of work in a bigger proportion,

narrow a general occupational direction into a concrete one through an informed decision

making process, and declare a major.

● Step Three: Relevant/Practical Experience

In Step III individuals estimate occupational alternatives and obtain practical experiencethrough internships, cooperative education, relevant summer employment, volunteer work

and campus activities. Besides, more precise decisions about occupational choices are

made.

● Step Four: Job Search/Graduate School PreparationIndividuals prepare for and commence managing a job search, or apply to graduate or

professional schools.



Career development cycle:

"Who am I?" If you’ve been thinking about your career path and know you want a career

change you may wonder: “Where do I start?” Typically, this process starts with self-

assessment. Understanding who you really are is critical to effective career planning.

Breaking this down can be helpful:

● Skills: what skills do I have? And which do I really enjoy using? Just because

you’re good at something doesn’t necessarily mean you like doing it.

● Interests: what excites me? What interests me enough that I don’t realize the

passage of time while I am engaged in it?

● Values: what things do I believe in? What motivates me to work?



● Personality: who am I? What are my personal preferences?

● Set goals: From your self-assessment and exploration you should have a clearer

idea of what you are looking for. Now is the time to set some goals. This includes

identifying specific action steps that will move you forward.

● Act: Sometimes people get stuck looking for the “perfect” action step. Remember

that any step forward is an accomplishment.

Because this process is a cycle, after taking action you should re-assess how your plan is

going. You may need to alter your goals a bit. Perhaps you stumble across a different

occupational path that appears to be a better fit for you. Use this information to ensure your

path is taking you where you really want to go.

Selecting our career:

Any body cannot know what they will be in future. But every have an expectation and they

would like to make a bright future. And then they do there work according to the road map.

But at first we have to select our goal. However, we choose our career goal. But we can't

figure out what we want until we figure out a bit about whom we are - what make us

happy; what do we want to achieve; what do we want out of life and/or our career? We

shouldn't have to pay to realize who we are and what we want to be. This is the hardest part

of choosing a Career - knowing ourselves and what kind of environment suits us best. But,

in this position we want to be a successful business man.

Why we choose this area:

In every moment, every where there have to business. To consume any product, to

purchase any goods, to earn profit, to make employment, or some other side business is

related. By the business a person can be a self employment. Every part in our life business



is related. By the business a person can earn profits and in his organization he can give the

job to many unemployment people, he can do social work by given better service. To

import or export of any product or goods there is business. By the business there may be a

good relationship between each other or each country to another. If a business organization

can make more profits then the government can get more taxes. So business is most

important for any country or country people.

That’s why we like to be successful business men. We want to help people, country

and government and we would like to spend a batter life.

Our Career Development process:

This is a hub in which we created our own career development plan. Our plan includes thefollowing:

Before setting a reasonable career course, many find it important to take an inventory of

their current capabilities. During our personal skill assessment, we determined that we havethe ability to work hard, manage people, and give different ideas for any project and to

implement a plan of action to correct problem areas. We also have knowledge of

organizing, managing and controlling processes, as well as exceptional of employee andcustomer service skills. As we determine the best opportunities for our future career

development, we have to understand how to best utilize our strengths. In the same way, we

must also understand our weaknesses and choose to engage in training or stay within the boundaries they create.

Likewise, we must evaluate both our desires and the opportunities that surround us. Now

we are studying BBA in major of HRM and after completing our BBA program we wouldlike to go abroad to get MBA degree.

We already have some small business. We think it will be help our increasing knowledgeabout managing business. And also help us to make a good business curriculum.



In which position we want to see our selves:

At the end of our career development we want to see our selves as a

successful business man. As a BBA student we have a great opportunity to fulfill

our goal. Every person likes to fulfill there future target. And it is also our target. In

future we would like to help our selves. Also we want to help our unemployment

people, our country and out government. Now we are preparing ourselves to make

our dream, to fulfill our goal.

Conclusion



At last we can say that, career development process is essential elements of a

manager to establish his or her career position. A manager need a proper

career planning and career management. If we will be make a business than

we will take a proper career planning and manage it to reach goal. So that, a

student should be prepare for his future position. Career development is a

complex process-one that receives little attention until a student is deciding a

major & when a person is looking for a job. This is unfortunate because

ideally one should be exposed to the process of career development

throughout primary & secondary school & continuing throughout life.

Recommendation

It is my career development process. So whatever I should recommend, it is explained in

the body of the report. As a future HR manager I can suggest to all it is very impotent to

setting a goal and do work as plan.
