Week 8: Planning your next steps

Week 8 Introduction

This is the last week of the course, but rather than viewing it as an ending you should consider this as the start of the next stage of your journey and a new phase in your career development.

• identified your long-term goals and ambitions
• created an action plan which breaks your long term goals into a series of achievable steps.
