What are you going to be doing 5 years from now? 10 years from now? Next year? One of the first steps in assessing your career options is taking stock of your strengths, identifying your challenges, your likes and dislikes, and finding what motivates you. What career(s) best suit you? How do you get there from here? This presentation will focus on getting you started on establishing and implementing your individual development plan.
