Welcome to our Career Development Resource Center!
We believe that Career Development involves the development of an employee's skills and knowledge which enables them to plan and make informed decisions about their education, training, and career choices. It also involves having a Strategy, which includes any behavior, activity, or experience, to help employees meet their career goals. In our Career Development Resource Center, we will provide the tools necessary to empower working moms to get back to their Career Vision and stick with it; while providing additional resources for their employers to improve their Workforce Development/Learning & Development Initiatives, Processes, and Programs.
We use the Frank Parsons theory of matching careers to your talents, skills, and/or personality by using the below Career Development Process/Model to provide the most up-to-date resources:
