Assignment Components:

elf-Assessments: Reflect on your values, interests, skills, strengths, weaknesses, and personal goals. Consider how these factors align with potential career paths.

Career Objectives: Based on your self-assessments, establish clear and specific career objectives. These should be kind of broad since you will also be developing goals underneath each of these. These objectives should be both short-term (1-3 years) and long-term (4-7 years). Discuss the rationale behind these objectives and how they relate to your personal and professional aspirations.

SWOT Analysis: Perform a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis related to your career goals. Identify internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats. Discuss how you can leverage your strengths and address your weaknesses to capitalize on opportunities and mitigate threats.
Goal Setting: Using your objectives, develop more specific goals under each of the short-term objectives that are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and will help you progress toward your career objectives. Be sure to specify the milestones and deadlines associated with each goal. If you can, develop some goals for your long-term objectives.

Action Plan: Create a detailed action plan outlining the steps you need to take to achieve your goals. Include timelines, resources needed, and responsible parties for each step. Be as specific as possible in describing the actions you will take.

Networking and Skill Development: Identify networking opportunities and skill development activities that are essential for your career plan.

Discuss how you will expand your professional network and enhance your skills to support your career goals.

Conclusion: Summarize your career plan, emphasizing its importance in achieving your career objectives. Discuss the personal commitment you are making to implement the plan effectively.
Format

Please use the bullet points above to organize your project with subheadings. This assignment should be developed as a Word document. You should use parts of the Reflection and Direction Paper you did earlier in the course (and the feedback you received) for parts of this report where relevant. Reminder – since the Strengths Finder was a major assessment that you did, you should make sure to use its results for this assignment.
