is based on awareness, reflection, goals setting values for personal development within the
context of career, relationship or for self – improvement (Rimmer, 2018). PDP plays an
important role in preparing the plan for career development as it helps in creating value for the
aspects of understanding the point of weaknesses and to eradicate them with the usage of proper
resources and time frame.
