Employees should be encouraged to assume responsibility for their own careers. Knowing

which career you want to pursue is an important first step to tackling your job search and

career goals. However, simply identifying an ideal position will not propel you to achieve these

goals. A career workshop can help you do just that. It can also help you learn how to make

career decisions, set career goals, create career options, seek career planning information, and

at the same time build confidence and self-esteem.

Ask peers and acquaintances about their career plans; also ask them how they arrived at their

career goals.

Consider the responses, as well as your own career plans and information gleaned from your

textbook. In your initial post:

• Discuss at least three issues that Human resources must include in a workshop on career

planning.

• In your discussion, state why you feel these issues are critical in developing effective

career strategies.

• Provide specific examples.
