 The idea of career can be traced back in the beginning of
the 20th century.
 Its etymology comes from the French word “carrier”
which means a road or a race course, which in turn comes
from the Latin word “ car aria” which refers to track for
wheeled vehicles.
 Career choice was almost nonexistent.

4. CAREER

pattern through the work undertaken by an
individual.

career is not something that happens as a result
of one event or choice.
 Instead career is a life-long process.

oneself or others.

and academic preparation;
 OCCUPATION – a group of task performed by an individual
in a organization.

7. Significance of the Planning
 Career planning is not just making plans to obtain your “ perfect ” job
or career, but to help you make the many adjustment there will be
along the way as you learn about you and world of teaching.
 Career planning is more than just looking at jobs and positions and
working hard.
 The reason most individual do not turn their dreams into reality is
because they do not take these dreams and make them goals.
 The successful people set goals; they plan and follow the plan.
 Goal setting is a process and a learned skill with many parts to it.
 Goal setting is as much art as it is science.
 The more you understand the process and the more skills you acquire,
the better are the chances in reaching your goal.

8. Remember to set your goals the SMART
way.
 Specific (well-defined and detailed)
 Measurable (can evaluate progress)
 Attainable (within reach)
 Realistic (practical)
 Time-bound (within a time frame)
 Do not abandon a career goal!
