Career Development: Introduction

Contact:  Kathy Crooks
Agency: Labor & Economic Growth


Career development is a complex process of acquiring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for an individual to make work a meaningful, productive, and satisfying part of life. The career development process requires a continuum of planned activities including career awareness, exploration, decision-making, and educational planning. These activities are designed to maximize the capabilities of all learners to explore, to analyze options, to understand one's own interests and abilities, to select educational preparation for, gain entry to, and to succeed in career choices throughout life. The specific activity categories of Career Development are Career Pathways, Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling, Career Awareness/Exploration, Career Assessment, and Education Development Plans.
