Career Development
Career development is a continuous process that involves acquiring and improving the necessary skills, knowledge, and experiences to achieve personal and professional goals. This process includes career planning, which involves setting short-term and long-term career goals and identifying a career path that aligns with one’s interests and strengths.
Read MoreCareer Coaching
Career coaching is a process of working with a coach to identify and achieve career-related goals. It is based on principles of coaching psychology, which emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals to take responsibility for their own personal and professional development.
Positive psychology is an essential component of career coaching, as it emphasizes the importance of building on individuals’ strengths and positive attributes, rather than focusing solely on their weaknesses or limitations. Person-centered therapy is also an important approach to career coaching, as it emphasizes the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space in which individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings related to their career goals.

Career assessment is a critical component of career development, as it enables individuals to identify their strengths, interests, and values, and explore potential career paths that align with those characteristics. There are several types of career assessments available, each with its own unique approach and focus.
One commonly used career assessment is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which assesses individuals’ personality types based on four dichotomies: extraversion vs. introversion, sensing vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, and judging vs. perceiving. Another popular assessment is True Colors, which categorizes individuals into four color-coded personality types based on their preferences for communication and problem-solving styles.
