SECTION ONE: RESEARCH

PART 1: Self-Assessments: Start the assignment by completinga variety of self-assessments (multiple links and documents are posted on DC Connect in the Assignments module - Career Action Plan folder). These give you some clear data on your ability to market your skills, your self-awareness as well as your work environment preferences. Additional credible self-assessments, such as those found on the HR & Social Development Essential Skills website will provide insight into your transferrable skills, strengths and weaknesses. This data is your starting point.

PART 2: Career Research: Begin researching companies currently hiring and market data from your field of interest. Current job postings, future outlook for your field, current wages, skills and education required, etc. are all important aspects of your career research. You may also conduct a one-on-one interview with a person in your field of interest as a source for this assignment.

SECTION TWO: DEFINE YOUR CAREER OBJECTIVE

Career Objective Statement: Start your Action Planby describing your overall mission for your career. Think about what your ultimate career goal is and how this fit your priorities, interests and abilities. Think about why you are passionate about this career and where you see yourself in the future, and then write a paragraph to define this goal.

Your statement should be personalized: it should fit your individual personality as well as your special dreams for your future career. As you craft a career objective statement, consider how you are special and different, and think about how you can tap in to your special talents and strengths to achieve your target. You might even come up with a motto that will help guide you to reaching your career goal.

SECTION THREE: OUTLINE A MINIMUM OF 3 KEY GOALS

Outline Key Goals that will help you reach your Career Objective: Here is where you start to get specific and narrow in your approach to your Career Action plan. Based on your self-assessments and your overall Career Objective Statement, outline a minimum of three (3) key goals that identify benchmarks you'll need to accomplish in order to meet your career objective. These goals should be very specific and measureable. It should be clear how these goals will help you reach your ultimate career objective that you have described.

SECTION FOUR: DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME BARRIERS AND HELP YOU REACH EACH GOALS

PART 1: Outline Barriers to your Goals Strategies for reachingeach of your Goals - Goals are easy to reach in the perfect world. In reality we face barriers to each goal we set for ourselves (both external and internal barriers). You may have discovered some of these barriers when you completed your self-assessments and/or your market research in Section One. What barriers (internal and external) may stand in the way of you reaching each goal?

PART 2: Outline Strategies to overcome these Barriers - Now that you have developed a minimum of three goals and identified barriers, develop and documentspecific strategies for reaching each goal. Each strategy must be tied to a specific barrier and should be clear and measureable.

SECTION FIVE: HOW WILL YOU EVALUATE PROGRESS?

Evaluate Your Progress -This is where most action plans lack in critical detail, and this may be one of the most important areas that requires your attention!Every Action Plan should have in place a system for an occasional check-in and sometimes a reality check.

Return to Section Three and Four and clearly define when and how you will you check and assess whether you are meeting your specific goals and using your strategies to overcome barriers. If you discover a few weeks or months into your job search or career that you aren't getting where you need to be, explain how you will re-visit your goals, and change your action to ensure you can meet your career objective. Like your key goals, evaluation must be extremely specific and measurable for it to be successful. Stating that if you are not where you want to be in 5 years and you need to re-evaluate does not mean anything. Be clear in the tools you will use for measuring your progress and what you will do if you are not meeting each of your key goals. REMEMBER, if you don't meet your goals you will not meet your Career Objective as they are directly related!
