Personal Development/Career Path

Hi All,

This is my first post on the forums so I'm hoping that I've come to the right place!

It's that time of year again, and I've just had my end of year review with my Head of T&D who is my line manager. She has asked the inevitable question of where I want to be in 12 months and how I'm going to get there and I've immediately come up blank.

As a bit of background, I've worked as a T&D officer for around 8 years, I've got my CIPD qualifications and am currently working for a company who have different UK locations. I am the only T&D presence in my office, with no plans or real opportunity to expand the proposition.

My current role is quite varied already, as I'm currently:

- Designing, reviewing and delivering monthly induction
- Leading development programmes (middle management, senior leadership)
- Supporting the design/delivery/assessment of in-house apprenticeships

My manager is not really interested in me gaining any further qualifications but wants me to have a clear career plan for myself.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or experience in this type of situation? I just have no idea what the next step in my career would be!

Thank you so much in advance!

  • Perhaps there are some projects coming up that you could ask to be involved in? It could be a way to build on the variety you've already been gathering whilst also developing. If your organisation uses a 70-10-10 development model, this could be good "on the job" development.
