A career path can be designed traditionally with pre-defined, standardized steps based on experience, but this limits growth. A more realistic approach uses empirical data from interviews and incumbents to identify positions and opportunities, along with targeted training needs, to discuss individualized realistic careers. This process identifies opportunities, positions, and training in an ongoing, extensive study of career paths.
