The purpose of this plan is to determine what your ideal role within the Tourism, Hospitality, or Events Industry is and what you will need to do to get to this role. Prior to completing the Professional Development Plan, students should undertake the Clifton Strengths Finder Assessment to allow for a greater understanding of what their individual strengths are and how to use these strengths to expedite their career aspirations. We recommend that the professional development planning process should be undertaken initially by the learner followed by discussion with their allocated Laureate Success Coach. It is recommended that this process should take place regularly and ideally should form part of the regular meetings with Success Coaches. However, it can be equally valuable when undertaken as a stand-alone activity. The process can then continue throughout their time at Torrens University Australia. THE101 Assessment 3 THE101_Assessment_ 3_100217.Docx Page 2 of 7 Instructions: Students are required to complete a Career Path Plan using the following Professional Development Plan template to understand where their career is going to take them and how they will achieve this goal. The following is a guide on how to use the template. Professional Development Plan: Key to terminology used in template Development Objectives are objectives that you have identified to enable you to meet the learning and development needs identified at the initial planning stage. Priority identifies whether your development objective is: • critical to your progressing in to your future role • beneficial but non-critical to progressing in to you future role Activities can constitute any learning or development activity that will enable you to achieve your development objectives e.g. formal training, on-the-job training, work-shadowing another colleague etc. Strengths will help you align what you wish to achieve (Career Goal), what you need to do to get there (Development Objectives) and how to best achieve these through understanding which strengths will allow you to best achieve these. Support/Resources describe what you need to help you achieve your development objectives. Typically this would involve support from your Success Coach, from a current or future employer, or even family. Target and Actual dates state when you intend to achieve your development objectives followed by the date you actually achieve them. Data in these columns is particularly useful when you review your PDP as it will enable you to identify any factors that may have prevented you from achieving your development objectives on the target date and build in contingencies to prevent this from occurring in the future. Review date states when you will review progress on your Professional Development Plan. Assuming that you undergo the professional development process annually, we recommend that you review your PDP every six months therefore enabling you to: • Assess your progress THE101 Assessment 3 THE101_Assessment_ 3_100217.Docx Page 3 of 7 • Reflect on your learning • Identify whether your development objectives need to be amended • Identify factors that may have prevented you from achieving your development objectives • Build in contingencies to enable you (where possible) to meet your agreed target date in the future What are my development objectives?
