students so that they can achieve their career objective as they desire. The students can develop
their skills and knowledge with the help of proper training programs and academic classes which

medium and long term goals and personal development.
Task one
Concept of personal and professional development
Personal development plan means enhancement of sach skills which are required by a
student in order to achieve the set targets and their role in life (Valmas, Himrich and Finn, 2020).
Moreover the professional development plan helps the individual in order to advance their skills
with respect to their job role. It is also helpful in order to determine what they have to do and
what are the skills required by a student in order to achieve their goals.
Short term goals and their importance
Short term goals plays an important role in everyone's life as it is the first step towards
the long term goal. It also helps the students to fill the gap between the present and where they
want to be in future. This step is also used to determine different strategies which can be adopted
by them in order to satisfy their long term goals (Melnik, Ermolaev and Kuzmin, 2019). For
example: develop communication skills.
Medium term goals and their values
Medium term goals are the second step which can be taken by the individual in order to
attain the final goal (Iacomino, 2018). At this step the students used to determine the strategies
which they have adopted are helpful in order to attain the long-term goals or not. For example:
saving money by doing a part time job.
