Assignment 10: Lifelong Learning Personal and Professional Plan

Create a Lifelong Learning Personal and Professional Plan that will advance your career success. The following activities will help you prepare and organize prior to creating your plan:

Skills I Need to Learn
Self-Assessment: Tuition Assistance Program
Conferences
Next, in a Word document, map your future career goals by detailing the following:

• skills you will learn on your own over the next 12 months to advance your career and financial success

• how you will use the Tuition Assistance Program currently offered by your employer, if available. Include any research you obtained from Learning Goal #3: Employee Benefits and Learning Goal #4: Company Tuition Assistance. If you are NOT covered under an employer’s Tuition Assistance Program, provide your thoughts or research on a few free or low-cost learning opportunities you can take advantage of.

• workshops, trade shows, industry conferences or professional speaker events that you are considering attending in the next 6 months to advance your career and financial success

Conclude with a reflection of a few paragraphs (12 – 15 sentences). You should try to answer some of these questions in your reflection:

What things would I like to learn that could make my personal life better?
What things would I like to learn that could make my career and professional life better?

How much money would I like to have when I retire and what should I learn to achieve that goal?
Is there someone who can mentor me and guide me in my pursuit of career success?
