Career path planning is the process of setting professional goals and mapping out steps to achieve them. It involves assessing your skills, interests, and values, then identifying pathways—such as gaining new qualifications, gaining experience, or switching roles—that lead to your desired position or growth. This proactive approach helps you make informed decisions, adapt to changes, and stay motivated, ensuring your career evolves in alignment with your aspirations and market opportunities. Essentially, it’s about creating a strategic plan to navigate your professional development effectively.
