The following Course Outcome is assessed in this assignment:

MT499-6: Evaluate career skills in the field of business and management.

Reflecting on the results of the self-actualization exercises you executed throughout the term, your occupation and job opportunity exploration, and the understanding you garnered from feedback in team assessments, complete the following requirements to develop a strategic career plan:

Checklist:

• Develop a professional vision statement that will drive your pursuit of the career you desire. I desire a career with the Veterans Affairs as a Vocational rehabilitation counselor
• Develop a career mission statement that will guide you to achieve your professional vision.
• Develop a professional statement. Identify a minimum of three (3) keywords that exemplify your values. Explain why these values represent who you are as a professional.
• Assess your professional knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors at present.
• Assess your current career situation, including your role, responsibilities, and compensation plan. Currently a full time student so this does not really apply!
• Identify your targeted and desired job position and title within the next 7 years.
• Determine the role and responsibilities of your targeted job position and title.
• Identify and justify your targeted and desired compensation plan. Just put the info from the job posting that will be fine.
• Develop three (3) short-term, three (3) mid-term, and three (3) long-term career goal statements based on a 7-year time period for your targeted and desired job position and title. Your goals should be very specific, realistic, measurable, and readily observable.
  • What knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors do you need to acquire or improve in 1 year to accomplish your 1-year goals? I would say this would be something along the lines of getting into a starting career with the Veterans Affairs in general
  • What knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors do you need to acquire or improve in 4 years to accomplish your 4-year goals? This would have to be getting a Master degree in Vocational Rehabilitation and maybe any certificates that might help if you find any.
  • What knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors do you need to acquire or improve in 7-year to accomplish your 7-year goals? This would I assume be the actual skills obtained through the degree and from working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor to move up to a more supervisory role
• Conduct a gap analysis to identify the skills and abilities you will need to develop to reach your goals and to prepare for your targeted and desired job position and title.
• Explain the resources (experience, education, training, certifications, or mentorship) you will need to reach your goals and to prepare for your targeted and desired job position and title. Would need to do a supervised internship with a certified Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor
• Explain what barriers, weaknesses, threats, or obstacles may prevent you from accomplishing your goals in a timely manner (e.g., spare time, funding, family commitments, etc.). How will you overcome these challenges? I have a family so this could be one. If more are needed just put some in there.
• Develop a plan outlining the actions you will take to reach your goals and to prepare for your targeted and desired job position and title.
• Develop a personal brand strategy to prepare to reach your goals and to prepare for your targeted and desired job position and title.
• Write in current APA style format with no grammar or spelling errors, providing additional title and reference pages.
• Use research to help substantiate your thoughts, opinions, ideas, and statements.
• Use headings to segment the topics in your writing and to create a flow of ideas for your readers
