Description:

This workshop was formerly known as Career Challenge™ and Leveraging Your Career Drivers™ for Development Planning.

This interactive, one-day workshop offers you the opportunity to take a concentrated look at how to make your career development relevant to your current job and use it to propel you in the right direction as you grow at Northwestern.

Managing Your Career begins with a pre-workshop assessment called Career Drivers™. Career Drivers™ define the motivational aspects of work life — your absolute non-negotiables for satisfaction. Knowing your own Career Drivers™ allows you to make wise, empowered choices in your ongoing development and long-term career moves. The online Career Drivers™ assessment will be sent to you in advance.

You will then attend the workshop to:

Discover the talents common to everything you’ve accomplished

Have a new way to leverage development for current work performance and future goals

Learn how to create development goals that are engaging for you and accomplish department goals 

Upgrade your ability to communicate your value and not just your needs

Learn important strategies for identifying career directions, growing your networks and positioning yourself for future career success

Participants must complete the Career Drivers™ online assessment before attending the Managing Your Career workshop.
