Given the complexity of career development and the fluidity of the world of work, we need to be able to navigate our career paths with purpose and clarity. Here is a simple career-planning model, which forms the foundation the other sections contained here. This may provide you with a simple framework from which to consider your own career development and planning.

The model has 7 components that fit together into a model (Click on each component in the model). In the centre are the understanding components of the model and around the outside are the action components. They are all intricately related and impact upon one another. For example, your understanding will affect the actions that you take, and conversely the actions you take may lead to a clearer understanding.

Some of the different Sections in the website relate directly to the different components of the model. You will need to try to put them all together as you work through the website's materials, exercises and resources. It can be an enjoyable task especially as you discover new things about yourself and your opportunities.
