I learned about Career Management Skills (CMS) which are essential for managing one's career and regularly reviewing performance throughout their professional life.
These skills include:
1. Self-awareness: enabling students to make informed career choices.
2. Career development planning and exploration: allowing students to envision their future careers.
3. Lifelong learning: adapting to ongoing innovations and updating knowledge and skills.
4. Networking: building personal and professional relationships crucial for career growth.
As instructors, we can help students develop and reinforce these skills by:
- Providing exploration spaces and feedback.
- Conducting career interviews to inform students about their desired careers.
- Encouraging students to set S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-specific) career objectives and goals.
- Guiding students in creating personalized career action plans and development processes.
