Career development is a holistic approach which includes career planning, 360 reviews, development activities, assessments and so forth. In order to help you clarify why career development can benefit you, I’d like to show you how to create a development plan.

For instance, if you are a singing teacher and because of COVID-19 you can’t run your normal classes anymore, now you can think of how to create an online program teaching singing on the Internet. In this way, your online program will be able to bring you passive income.

Therefore, the career development plan looks like this:

First, you need to conduct a self-assessment. What are your strengths and weaknesses? How can you double down on your strengths? How can you make sure your weaknesses won't affect your earning power?

The second step is career exploration. There are many different ways to present an online program: videos, audio files, PowerPoint presentations with your voice in the background, eBooks, interviews, forums, email support, telephone/Skype support, webinars and Facebook group support. Which option can emphasize what you are good at? Do you look good on camera? Or are you better at writing?

Next, when you have figured out the main method you will use, it’s time to set a goal which can effectively help you make your dreams come true!
