Career Development Process
‘A career is that part of a person’s life that pertains to the work they do to sustain their lives physically and psychologically’
It consists of more than 1 job, but rather a series of jobs that are related in some way.
The means we use to relate that series of jobs determines how we use the term career.

Career Planning
Career Planning in itself is a straightforward process
of understanding, exploring and decision making,

context.
What complicates it is that careers and organisations are
constantly changing.
