This career development plan template can be used as a tool to guide your thought process and map your progress over a chosen
period.
Completion of this plan will follow a 4 step process. Each step will address specific career related questions:
1. What skills do you already possess? (Where are you now?)
1

I think that the skills that I already posses are organizing skills and accountability. I feel that these skills are really important for
working as a good leader or a manager. As a manger or a leader I need to take care of the fact that I can take up the responsibility of
my own work. I do not shift the blame on others. This is mainly because of the fact that unless I develop the skill of accountability
within myself I will never be able to do the same for my employees. Thus, I feel that presently I am good at organization skills and
accountability skills.
2. What do you want for your career? (Where do you want to go?)
I am currently studying the course of diploma of business. Thus, I want to attain a good prestigious position in future. I want to attain
the position of a marketing manager in one of the leading MNCs or the top corporate organizations.
3. How might you get there? (What steps do you need to take to get there?)
 I will make sure that I am staying calm and organized.
 I will take proper advice from my teachers, friends, co workers and colleagues
 I will not treat anybody as inferior
Who can help? (What resources might I use?)
 I will seek help from my professor as I am currently a student of diploma of business studies.

 I will also take help from my seniors, my co workers and others who have some good knowledge about this field.
