Career Development Plan (15%) Individual assignment Students will complete the TriMetrix assessment and use their results to formulate a career development plan to create a unique identity/brand for themselves. Prepare your own five-year career development plan about ‘What do you intend to do professionally in the next 5 years (1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th & 5th year)’? Your plan must be presented in timeline format (This can be done using MS Project and multiple other software). Your plan will also be assessed based on how creative your timeline is. Simple timelines (a simple table of one made using Word) will be marked down. Be very specific with your timeline, provide dates for when you will achieve different things mentioned in your timeline. For instance, if you mention in your timeline, you will attempt an exam provide a DATE of when you will attempt that exam. Also include the COSTS associated with completing different activities. Your career plan must address and consider the following items: 1. What are your career objectives? What position, field, or industry do you want to work in/for? (To be answered in introductory paragraph – Max 1 page) o Which province in Canada and why? (This needs to be supported with job market analysis such as employment options, field attractiveness- current job openings within your field, income potential/salary rates across different provinces– I want to see a lot of statistics in here – Don’t make this section descriptive – use graphs, pie-charts, salary benchmarking tables from federal and provincial reliable sources) 2. If you intend to work for an organization, what are the possible promotional opportunities for career growth, and what senior-level position do you wish to obtain? How long will it take for you to obtain your next promotion within your field? What certificate will be needed for promotion? how many years of experience will be required for the promotion? (Again, maximum one page in writing and also included these promotions in your timeline) 3. An inventory of your current skills, abilities, training, and education and the required qualifications for your desired position? (Strictly use a table to outline your current education as well as all job-specific skills, certificates, etc., that you have. Only mention the certificates/degrees acceptable in Canada, see NOC website for reference) 4. From your timeline Identify three action steps that are crucial to achieving your stated career development plan. These steps are usually those without which your plan cannot proceed. (Put heading action steps and describe them in short paragraphs- 3-4 lines maximum) 5. Identify potential barriers that might prevent you from reaching your stated career goals and objectives. (In bullet points – make sure they are all realistic and applicable to you. Just imagine what problems would you face while starting your professional career in Canada) You can use https://www.ganttproject.biz/download/gp30 for your timeline. APA writing conventions should be followed in the plan with sources/ websites referred to, properly referenced, and cited including in APA format, the report must demonstrate analysis of the material and its application to the workplace. The submission date is mentioned in the course schedule (i.e., week 10) in the course syllabus. All submissions will be made on Moodle. Please note that assignment submissions are ONLY accepted on Moodle and NOT on email. Kindly rename your assignment file by your respective name before you upload it. For example, if John Smith is submitting his assignment file name should be “Johnsmith”. The career development plan will be graded from 15% as per the rubric mentioned below.

Career objectives
My career objective is to be a human resource manager for any organization I will be
working in so that I can control everything. By 2027, I want to be the vice president for HR for
any companies that I will be working for, ensuring that I offer equal opportunities and ensure
that everyone is satisfied with the different services offered. HR is an essential individual in an
organization that ensures that every employee is satisfied and has a good working environment. I
want to work in any industry, such as the Communication industry or even the business industry,
to ensure everyone is satisfied. I will be working in Ontario province in Canada. Ontario
province is one of the wealthiest provinces in Canada that is featured to have many industries.
Some of the industries noted in Ontario include Agricultural industries, Manufacturing
industries, communication industriues and automobile industries. These will be significant
industries to work in. These companies present higher employment opportunities, especially in
the HR field that demands the organization. The average human resource in Canada is $59,126
per annum and $30.32 per hour. The entry-level position starts at $43,823 in a year. This is the
average salary across the different provinces in Canada.
Promotional opportunities
Within the HR field, I wish to start working as an HR analyst for an Information and
Communications Technologies company. To achieve this, I will ensure that I continue with my
bachelor’s degree in information resource management, which will cost about $15000. In the
second year, I will expand my work experience as an HR analyst and become better qualified for
higher positions. I will ensure that I finish my degree, primarily focusing on the leading sector.
According to the school calendar, I will take an exam featured to be twice a year. In the third
year, I will seek promotion to the mid-entry level job as an HR supervisor. I will ensure that I

3
improve my employee relations and public management skills. I will also work on finalizing my
MBA research project and also ensure that I finish this certification by the end of 2023. In my 4th
year, I will ensure that I comprehend the various aspects of the HR department. This will be as
from 2025 to 2026. I will also start working on my MBA that will focus on organizational
leadership. In my 5th year, I will become vice president of HR in the Information and
Communication Technologies Company. I will ensure that I complete all the MBA courses and
ensure that I have good communication and leadership skills. This will be important for ensuring
that I can be competent HR and meet employees' different demands in the different
organizational settings. The promotion will only take two years to be promoted from the HR
supervisors to becoming a vice president of the human resource in the organization.

Crucial action steps
Different action steps are essential and will determine my success in my career. They include:
i.

Develop five critical skills
This is important as it will help me ensure that I can move up the ladder. Communication

and leadership skills are paramount for this possibility (Stone et al., 2020). Hence, I will focus on
developing these skills.
ii.

MBA on organizational leadership
A leader is an important individual that is supposed to work to meet the different

demands of every employee. It is essential to focus on organizational leadership to work on the
HR duties significantly. An HR is supposed to have good leadership skills to make the best
decisions in the organization.
iii.

Analyze all the skills that I have
At the start, it is essential to analyze all my skills. Also, it is crucial to improve on my

current skills and ensure that I have all the appropriate skills to be more effective. An HR is
supposed to have all the relevant skills to lead and ensure that every employee is comfortable
(Boon et al., 2019).
Potential barriers
Different barriers will likely affect my career plan and not reach the expected goal. Some of the
barriers include:

5
✓ Financial problems – All the courses that I am supposed to undertake to require finance
to ensure that the individual can undertake them appropriately. This is likely to be a
barrier.
✓ Competition – I am likely to face competitions from more qualified individuals.
✓ Uncertainties – There are different uncertainties that I can encounter on the way not to
meet the goal, such as unable to complete the courses.
