Professional development reflects an individual's
vision, goals, motivation, and approach to
learning.
3
It is a set of activities that improve
awareness and identity, develop talents and
potential, build human capital and employment,
enhance the quality of life, and realization of
dreams and aspirations.
4
Professional development is the process of
improving and increasing the capabilities of
individuals through access to education and
training opportunities.
5
Professional development goals can vary
depending on the field a person is employed
within. But, these goals fall into three broad
categories. The categories of professional
development goals are ?Job-specific
goals ?Skill-set goals ?Educational goals
6
Job-specific goals are directly applicable to the
job a person is currently doing or aspires to
do. These goals include gaining new skills,
boosting networking abilities, become an expert,
and making a career switch.
7
Skill-set professional development goals are
generally about improving a complex set of
skills rather than one particular task. These
goals include time management, planning, and
personnel coordination.
8
The educational goal might be something specific
to a job, such as taking a class in a particular
software application or business method. It
might be working toward a professional
certification or other professional credentials,
or it could even be earning a college degree.
9
One frequently recommended method of setting
professional development goals is the SMART
method. SMART is a mnemonic device for
remembering five characteristics of a desirable
goal. The "SMART" method stands for ?S -
Specific ?M - Measurable ?A - Achievable or
Attainable ?R - Relevant ?T - Timely Working on th
e SMART criteria helps to achieve professional
development goals.
10
The five main areas of professional development ar
e cerebral, emotional, physical, social, and
spiritual.
11
The purpose of professional development is to
bolster and enhance the core learning
individuals will have received during their
initial training and education. To achieve new
heights in a career or profession one must
develop knowledge and skills through
professional development.
