Since 1983, organizations across the nation, in every industry as well as in government agencies have been using The Career Challenge to teach their employees to manage their own careers. The program is now one of the most well-respected and widely used career workshops in the country.

Employees begin by developing a comprehensive career self-assessment. Then they attend a two-day workshop delivered by our professional trainers (or yours, whom we have trained and licensed). Through lecture, exercises in small groups and pairs, and a 278-page workbook, participants leave with:

  • A comprehensive assessment of their work style, career type, career anchor, values and needs, functional and adaptive skills, internal barriers (including attitudes and behaviors), and developmental needs.

  • An overview of the organization and its future; the critical skills that will be needed; how to expand their contribution consistent with the needs of the organization.

  • An analysis of their current work environment including relationships with people, the specific jobs they do, the physical environment, and the culture of the organization.

  • A set of development opportunities and realistic targets for the job they are in as well as for their future with the company.

  • The ability and motivation to communicate with their managers about their own development and careers.

  • Improved ability to present themselves more effectively in regard to their careers.

  • A personal development plan including targets, action steps, schedules, resources required, and barriers expected. The plan covers both their current position and their future.

  • Increased personal and professional flexibility.

  • A new commitment to their own development, to their careers, and to expanding their contribution to the organization.

The Career Challenge gives employees the skills and motivation they need to take responsibility for their own career development.
