Therefore, the report will analyse that how the CIPD profession mapping will be done
and how effectively there are concerns of different stages of CIPD mapping which will be
included and will help ion creating value for the learning and development. Further, CPD
(Continuing Professional Development) will be analysed and described in detail as to how there

manner there are concerns which are related to learning and development of the new skills and

knowledge. Finally, the reflection will be denoted which will help in analysing the impact of
learning and development and will explain the two major models of reflection which are –
Gibbs’ Reflective Model and Kolb’s Learning Cycle. Therefore, with the help of this, the report
will be framed properly and will initialize that how the skills and knowledge for future career

Personal Development Plan (PDP) for next 12 months
Personal Development Plan (PDP) is defined as the process of self – evaluation and self –
reflection which is used in higher education and at the workplace. It is based on awareness,
value, reflection, goal – setting and planning for personal development. There are certain
weaknesses which I incur and these are mentioned as – I have poor management skills, I also am

not able to solve the problems which indicates that I do not have problem solving skills, there is
also lack of interpersonal skills (Tymms, 2018). These are the major skills which I lack and these
represent that I am unable to engage into some of the productive skills as I have realised that
there is improvement which is needed to enhance these skills. Moreover, I have also observed
that I lack in some knowledge which is required for me to improve. This knowledge based skills
are – lack of computer knowledge, lack of technical knowledge, lack of artificial intelligence
knowledge. For improving the skills and knowledge, I will frame a personal development plan so
that I am able to understand my abilities and gain better understanding and knowledge. The PDP
which is framed is mentioned and described as –

Reflection
There are some key learning milestones which I have incurred and which have helped me in
gaining some important aspects of how effectively and in appropriate manner I am able to learn
some key aspects of understanding and incurring to knowledge that there are some skills and
knowledge which are important for me to understand and analyse the aspects that they will help
me in my learning and development while I am studying in my University. There are some skills
and knowledge which I needed to improve so that I am able to develop my future career along
with personal development (Hoa and Tuan, 2019). There were important milestones which I
needed to achieve for my personal and professional growth at large scale. The skills which I
needed to learn were – management skills, problem solving skills, interpersonal skill.
Furthermore, I was also lacking some of the knowledge based skills such as – computer
knowledge, technical knowledge, artificial intelligence knowledge.
With the help of this, I would be able to achieve some skills and gain some knowledge
regarding the personal and professional career management at large scale. The impact of learning
and development on me was that I was able to create value for my work in appropriate manner.
With the help of learning and development, I was able to align my goals and performance with
that of the organization in future. With the help of learning and development there are some
major skill gaps which are identified as I was able to identify my skills and knowledge. There are
aspects as to how effectively I was able to analyse that how the process of learning and
development are being done. The learning and development and development is the aspect which
has positive impact on my both personal and professional career at large scale. With the help of
this, I would be able to create value of how different skills and knowledge is required.

The impactful experiences which I had gained while learning some skills and knowledge
was that I was able to analyse and identify that the skills and knowledge which I had learned will
help me in my personal and professional career (Hsu, Lin and et.al., 2022). The impactful
experience which I need to mention here is that while I was learning management skills, I was
able to work on my personal and professional management which helped me in creating value of
how there are some major concerns of being effectively learning some important skills so that
management related to time and other work is managed appropriately and in an effective and
efficient manner. By improving my computer knowledge, I was able to address and create value
for addressing that the computer based knowledge is of more importance which helped me in
analysing that this knowledge will help me in my career as I will be working at the organization
at large scale in significant manner.
There was major experience which I gained while learning the skills and gaining
knowledge was that I was going through and learning from some training sessions. Also, the
online courses also helped me in maintaining the professionalism for my career and I gained
much knowledge for the usage of how impactful I was able to improve my skills and knowledge
at large scale. I had enjoyed learning the skills and knowledge by framing the Personal
Development Plan (PDP) at large scale. There were aspects as to how effectively I was able to
learn and develop my skills and gain knowledge on some perspectives of how effectively and in
appropriate manner I was able to address and learn the skills and knowledge in the time frame of
12 months. Therefore, there was positive impact on what I gained from learning and developing
new skills and development. This has helped me in analysing that I have the ability to learn new
skills and gain new knowledge.
Reflection models which were used are -
Gibbs Reflective Cycle – It is framework which helps in offering the experiences and examining
them appropriately. There are six stages of the cycle which are denoted and described in brief as
–
 Description of the experience – It has been experienced that how effectively I have been
taking concern of how the skills and knowledge are being learned and how I have learned
some skills and knowledge.

 Feelings and thoughts about the experience – It is that I feel happy and satisfied that I
have gained some skills and knowledge and how effectively I have improved them by
utilizing some resources at large scale.
 Evaluation – It is being evaluated that, I have gained some good and bad experiences
which has helped me in learning some skills and knowledge (Adeani, Febriani and
Syafryadin, 2020). Analysis – It is analysed that how effectively I have been able to create value for my
learning new skills and gaining some knowledge regarding the same.
 Conclusion – I have learned some important skills and gained some knowledge which has
helped me to progress towards development.
 Action Plan – With the help of action plan, I was able to create strategy for learning and
developing the skills and knowledge appropriately.
Kolb’s Learning Cycle – With the help of this model, I was able to –
Concreate Learning – The experience of learning new skills and knowledge was gained by me.
Reflective Observation – The new experience is also gained and how effectively the skills and
knowledge is being learned and developed by me.
Abstract Conceptualization – Reflecting on the new skills and knowledge learned by me was
done in appropriate manner (Watson, Pelkey and et.al., 2019).
Active Experimentation – There is rise of experimentation as how the new skills were learned by
me.
