take charge of your learning!
DESCRIPTION
Why are there 4 million open jobs at a time when over 10 million Americans are unemployed? How can you be competitive in today's job market? In March I am piloting a one-page professional development planning tool that I call the "Take Charge of Your Learning" Plan. This is the slideshow from the workshop.TRANSCRIPT
Take Charge of Your Learning!
4.0 Million Job Openings in March, but… 10.5 Million Unemployed Americans. Why??
Old Employment Contract
• One career with one company for life
• Employers hire on potential and expect to train you to do the job
• Your employer manages your professional development
New Employment Contract
• Many careers with multiple companies
• Employers expect you to start with the skills needed to do the job
• You have to figure out how to manage your own professional development
Which one would you hire?
