Career Pathways
All you need to plan your career in the dairy industry is now in one place.
A first for the industry, Career Pathways is a tool that will open doors to a career in the dairy industry for talented people and help those already here to work towards their aspirations and realise a rewarding career in dairying.
The programme includes career planning resources, creates customised career maps and simplifies the process of learning about on-farm and near-farm positions. All via a portable USB flash drive, only needing an internet connection for registration with no need to worry about slow dial-up.
Inserted into a home or business computer, the flash drive automatically launches the Career Pathways programme, which looks and functions just like an interactive website. However unlike a website, Career Pathways gradually becomes a personalised career planning tool.
The tool works through all stages of career planning:
- Consider - read and watch dairy farmers ‘own stories'
- Evaluate - six self-assessments give users an opportunity to review current skills and goals
- Match - a career planning map that matches wants/needs with dairy industry roles
- Plan - a training plan and career plan that provides relevant career options, helps set goals and creates a training plan to work towards
Created for all people involved in dairy farming, regardless of their age or career goals, the Career Pathways tool has been designed so that it can be used over and over again, revisiting career plans as circumstances change, goals are achieved or when aspirations and goals need to be redefined.
Once your customised career plan has been developed, the tool provides opportunities for professional development across a wide range of subjects, including:
- Personal development
- Management
- Financial management
- Goal setting
It will even help you build, save and update your own CV.
