LESSON 1
CAREER DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS
AND LIFE GOALS
◦ Career development is a study of career paths, success, and behavior. It aims
to explain why a person might be a good fit for a certain career. The lifelong
process of managing learning, work, leisure, and transitions to move toward a
personally determined and evolving preferred future.
◦ Career Goal is a well-defined statement explaining the profession that an
individual intends to pursue throughout his career.
GOAL = YOUR DREAM/S + ACTION STEPS +
TARGET DATE
◦ Learners’ SMART Goals Setting. A planning process that measures five
◦ individual criteria to evaluate a goal and determine its viability and puts it into action.
◦ S- Specific – definite, clear, point
◦ M- Measurable- an estimate of what is to expected, barometer, mark
◦ A-Attainable- to reach as an end of progression, growth effort
◦ R- Relevant- applicable, pertinent, relative to, should make sense
◦ T- Timely- key period, a specific timeline for each step of the process.
SMART Goal – Specific
Goals that are specific have a significantly greater chance of being
accomplished. To make a goal specific, the five “W” questions must
be considered:
◦ Who: Who is involved in this goal?
◦ What: What do I want to accomplish?
◦ Where: Where is this goal to be achieved?
◦ When: When do I want to achieve this goal?
◦ Why: Why do I want to achieve this goal?
