CAREER PLANNING AND DEVELOPING    

Career planning is the procedure by which one selects career objective and the path to these goals. The main focus of career planning is on assisting the workers achieve a better match among personal goals & the chances that are realistically available in the organisation. Career programmes should not concentrate simply on career development opportunities. Practically speaking, there might not be sufficient high level positions to make upward mobility realism for a big number of employees. Therefore, career-planning efforts have to pin-point & highlight those areas that offer psychological achievement in spite of vertical growth.

Career planning is not an event or end in itself, but a constant process of amplifying human resources for attaining optimum results. However, it ought to be noted that individual and organisational careers are not distinct and separate. A person who is not capable to translate his career plan into action within the organisation might probably quit the job, if he has option. Organisations, thus, should help workers in career planning so that both may satisfy each other's requirement.
