Guiding your trajectory
Career management is the ongoing process of planning, developing, and directing one's professional path.
It encompasses setting goals, acquiring skills, building networks, and making strategic decisions about jobs and opportunities: Good career management means knowing when to stay and when to move on.
The term appears in both individual contexts and organizational ones, where companies provide career management programs to retain talent.
