Five-Year Career Plan

The Five-Year Career Plan is designed to help you develop skills in your current job or
to prepare for your next job. Your five-year plan is very much an individual and
personal plan, and is designed to facilitate your growth, development and advancement.
Always use the SMART model when setting goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Realistic and within a specific Timeframe.

Plan Period: From - 2019 To - 2024

My Current Position: I am currently in my second year of college where I am doing a

Level 3 BTEC Business Extended Diploma course.

My Long-Term Goal: I have come to the conclusion that I would like to work within HR,
maybe become an HR Officer.

Intermediate Steps Over the Next Five Years to Reach My Goal

Try to set two or three short term goals (i.e. those in the next 2 years) and
the remainder for the medium term (following 3 years)
I have decided that within my first year, I would like to make sure that I
Year One have completed my Level 3 BTEC Business Extended Diploma Course
with the garde D*D*D*. I know that in order to achieve this, I must make
sure that I have received a Distinction in all of my further units, with the
exception of 1 of these units being able to be a merit. I would also need
to make sure that I have secured a place i Bradford University, studying
Human Resources Management. This is because I know that it is
important for me to make sure that I have a place in University. I would
also like to apply for some Degree Apprenticeships within HR.

In my second year, I will hopefully be starting my HR Degree

Year Two Apprenticeship, or my Human Resource Management Degree at Bradford
University.

In my third year, I will hopefully be in my second year of University or still

Year Three carrying out my apprenticeship. I will be making sure that I am
volunteering with other businesses or charities to ensure that I am getting
as much experience with people and working life that I possibly can. I
would also make sure that I am keeping on top of all my assignments and
work to ensure that I am going to receive the best possible qualification
that I can.

My four year goal is to work my way way up into the business am

Year Four working at if I am doing an Apprenticeship by asking for as many hours as
possible and shadowing people within the HR sector to build and gain
more knowledge. This will help me to get a better insight of what other job
roles within HR do so that I am ale to get a better idea of what is the best
job for me. I will ask to sit into meetings so that I am able to gain a better
understanding of the different jobs there are and what is most suitable for
 me. If I am at University, I would like to make sure that I have completed a
Sandwich year where I will find myself a suitable placement to help me
gain more experience within HR. This will give me a wider insight on this
particular business sector so that I am able to build a stronger CV due to
my experience.

In my 5th year, I would have liked to have graduated University with the
Year Five best grade in Human Resource Management. while I am working towards
graduating, I would like to make sure that I have a suitable job lined up to
make sure that once I have finished University, I can jump straight into a
job that will help me to progress and become a really good Human
Resource Officer. If I have undergone the route of an Apprenticeship, I
would have liked to make sure that I am still working in the same
company as some apprenticeships can take up to 6 years.

Personal Development Objectives to Meet My Goals

(what do I need to do to get where I want to be?)
In order to secure a place on the Human Resource Management Course at Bradford
University, I need to make sure that I have at least 112 UCAS points. I know that if I
receive a Distinction in all of my units this year, I will definitely get onto this course. I
have currently got 8 Distinctions, and 1 Merit.

I know that the people around me will be able to help me reach my goals because when
I am on my sandwich year or doing my apprenticeship, I will be able to shadow the
people that are doing the jobs that I want to be doing. This will help to ensure that I am
getting the experience I need.

If I am at University, I know that the other people on my course would be able to help me
with the exams and assignments that I will have to face. As well as this, the tutors and
lecturers would be able to ensure that I am gaining answers to any queries I may have.

Friends and family will also be able to help me by sharing their person experiences with
me so that I can learn from their mistakes.
