Empowerment - Training - Assessments - Support

Watch one of our Career Tips for Working Moms - Do Not Remain Passive with your Career!

Welcome to our Career & Personal 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:

01. Assessment

Assess what you desire in your Career. We recommend utilizing Self-Discovery exploration with a Career Personality Profile Test. 

02. Exploration

Explore what your Career Vision can look like. Check out the M.I.S. Map to explore. 

03. Preparation

Create a Career Development Strategy which outlines what positions, training, and education you need to pursue your Career Vision.

04. Implementation

Begin implementing your Career Development Strategy.

05. Decision Making

Determine your success and decide how you will proceed further.

Owning Your Career Development

Many working moms are unfamiliar with navigating corporate America while balancing home life. Although they desire to advance in their careers, they are often left with self-doubt, fear, guilt, and imposter syndrome because many organizations are not equipped to support them.
