To feel fulfilled and remain motivated, employees must have opportunities to develop and grow. The Center for Professional Development's Individual Career Development Counseling program helps people develop their careers and grow as professionals through one-on-one sessions with a career counselor.

The Individual Career Development Counseling program includes:

• Initial Assessment
  The career counselor talks with the employee to learn about the employee's needs, work history, current position, educational background, career aspirations and career concerns.
• Self Assessment
  Through the use of worksheets developed by Center staff and standardized assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory®, the employee and career counselor:
  • Identify the employee's skills, interests, values, personality traits, preferred work environment, and desired people interactions.
  • Define aspects of a work environment that best foster the employee's productivity
  • Identify interests that contribute to career satisfaction
  • Identify opportunities for growth and development for the employee
• Goal Setting/Action Planning
  The employee, with the guidance of the career counselor, devises strategies for career growth and development. These strategies may include job enhancement, job redesign, movement to another division of the company, training, education, or other opportunities.
