Where’s your career in IT going?
Map it out with a BCS Personal Development Plan.
Personal Development Plans aren’t about clocking up hours or gaining points.
and recording your successes along the way - for yourself and others to see.
They are about planning your career,
mapping out the steps you need to take,
It all helps.
You can log exams and how many conferences you’ve attended……but you can also record:• Any coaching or mentoring you’ve done• Interesting things you’ve read or listened to• Any networking • Any stretch tasks you’ve completed in your current role• New roles or learnings you’ve made• And any research you’ve done.
And so do people like Mark...
“The activities are a great idea for an interactive learning log. I have been looking for something like this for 2 years! Up to now I have been using LinkedIn to track certificates and courses, together with my Outlook calendar. BCS CPD activities are a much better way to capture CPD activities, as well as course details.
