Professional Development
Professional development is the ongoing process of learning skills related to your career. These skills may needed to obtain a job and to keep it. Students should attend campus workshops on skills such as résumé building, networking, and interviewing, but should also pursue opportunities related to their fields. These may include seminars, conferences, certifications, etc. Employers are looking for someone who can identify the skills they will need to succeed and take the initiative to learn them. Remember that professional development in North America is an ongoing pursuit. Employees are expected to keep up to date on the skills and knowledge relevant to their fields.
