Describe your current career plan.

Prompt1: Describe your current career plan. Please include what you have accomplished so far, what stage you are currently in, and what you still want/need to accomplish.
To be honest I have not yet started my career. As of right now, my plan is to finish spring 2023 with my master’s in healthcare administration. My past job as a store manager has really helped me to grow and to have some knowledge in management. I know that retail and healthcare are the total opposite but in both, you must work with people and know how to communicate as well as take on tasks that are put before you. Soon I plan to start job searching in my field of study. I also would like to go in as an assistant human resource manager so that I can learn all the different roles first so that when the time comes to become a human resource manager, I would be ready. Once I’m finished with my bachelor’s degree my plan is to go back and get my master’s. My goal is to move up the ladder as much as possible and one day have my own business.
Prompt2: At your current organization, are you required to attend professional development courses? How are employees trained or retrained in your workplace?
At my past organization, we weren’t required to take any professional development courses. I think that they should start doing professional development courses. Employees were trained instore by the store manager. For associates, they were required to do a one-day training for four hours which included register training, short audio on the consequences of shoplifting, and a tour of the store as well as expectations. For assistant manager training there would be five training days which included 40 hours, and we would also do the things that the associates would do during training, but this training would be a little more, we would also go over the roles and expectations for an assistant manager. Store managers would have to be trained by the training store manager for 40 hours and during this training, we would go through the manager booklet and discuss the different roles and expectations and act as store managers during training. After each of these training, we would take a short quiz.
