Question 1 – Career Development and Lifelong Learning
a. Create your own individual PDP that shows evidence of your development achieved in the past 12 months and applies your planned development for the next 12 months.
To achieve this, you must demonstrate how you manage yourself. This should
include how you manage stress, positive thinking and assertiveness to
produce your own career development plans. You should create plans for goal
setting, a personal skills audit and a personal SWOT. From this, you can then
create your PDP.
Within your PDP include examples and evidence that demonstrate advanced
learning methods, learning resources, learning timescales, expected outcomes
and any necessary communications that may support your learning and
development. Read Lesson 3 Career Development, Future Planning
and Reflective Practice for information on how to complete your skills audit,
SWOT and PDP.
