Personal development plan is a guide that help us to achieve the goals in the career path
of an individual. It helps us to see a reflection of the performance, learning and achievement. It is

root of personal development is the self-confidence of an individual. PDP plan involves the
monitoring of the progress on a regular basis. It helps in overcoming the weaknesses of an
individual by enhancing their strength.

(A1) Strategies for enhancement of Skills.
Skills enhancement is necessary as this will define the growth prospects of an individual.
Skills are the basic qualities an individual want to inherit in order to grow and prosper in this
competitive world (Buchanan and Settles, 2019). There are some of the strategies used for the
enhancement of skills which are as follows:
 Incorporation of creativity in the work: it is very important to use creativity in the
working environment. Innovative ideas will enhance the thinking power of an individual.
The individual will try to think out of the box and develop effective innovative solutions.
This strategy can be developed through continuous practice and increasing the level of
participation.
 Efficient use of technology: Technology is the key factor that will provide the solution to
every problem of an individual. It will also enhance the knowledge and creates a link
with the people around the world. Technology is available 24*7 which will reduce the
risk of unavailability.
 Learn by doing: this is a traditional method which suggest that learning can be done with
practical implementation. An individual can learn by getting into the situation and
successfully achieve its solution. This will enhance their practical skills and they will be
able to face the challenges of the working environment (Chang, 2016).
