Session 5: Planning for the future
Introduction
Congratulations on reaching the final session of this course! In this session, you will consolidate the knowledge you have gained from previous sessions and guide you in planning for your career development. This involves considering the various skills, behaviours, and qualities you have acquired through your involvement in sport. While some of you may have previously engaged in similar activities, for others, it might be the first time you have seriously thought about planning for your employability and future career. Regardless of your background, we strongly encourage you to engage throughout the session with a positive and open mind in relation to your development, as the information, activities, and advice provided will be valuable throughout your entire career. In this session, you will:
- reflect on your current professional situation
- consider your ‘personal brand’
- set goals and actions related to employability
- explore strategies for ongoing learning and development.
