INDIVIDUAL CARET. DEVELOPMENT PLAM
In a career planning program it is recognized that the individ-
ual is prarily responsible for his or her on professional develop-
ment and that no plan can obviate the necessity for individual ini-
tiative and resourcefulnesso Since individual differences and per-
sonal circumstances are basic factors in determining the future plans
of individuals, career planning cannot conform to any preconceived
pattern. Some individuals have not yet determined their major career
interests and are currently in no position to make long-range plans,
and may or may not be able to be very specific in terms of short-
range plans. Other persons may have definite ideas in connection
with their ultimate objectives but need assistance in making imme-
diate plane to lead to these objectives.
Individual Career Development Plans are generally made for a
period of five years (two years in detail and three years in general)
and are subject to change by the individual or Agency officials in
light of existing conditions and circunstanceso Individual Plans
should not be made for the sake of"caking a Plan" but are devices
for assisting individuals in planning their personal progress in the
Agency. They are also guides to Agency officials in effecting future
personnel actions. These actions should be in accordance with the
career plan of the individual whenever it is possible.
The following outline is a general guide for the preparation
of an Individual Career Development Plano This outline suggests
the type of. information supervisory, reviewing and personnel manage-
ment officials need to know in order to assist the individual in
planning and implementing his career in the Agency.
