You identified your personal and professional values and some possible long-term goals in line with those values as you completed Item I of the IDP document. Now you will address a career objective, necessary career skills, and professional short and long-term goals.
Access your IDP document, and complete Items II and III.
For Item II, select a career objective (you can use the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Handbook). Next, identify six (6) total skills you will need to be successful in that career field. Explain which skills you already have and where you obtained them and which skills you still need to develop and how you will develop them.
For item III, insert at least 1 SMART short-term professional goal and one (1) long-term professional goal. Next, break each goal out into the required five time increments.
Finally, explain how you will use SMART goals as you focus on achieving specific academic and professional goals and as you seek to overcome challenges in your work with small groups or teams
