Description
Is your development entirely your employer’s responsibility?
Your employer should support your learning and development – but they can’t take ownership of your career for you.
As 2027 approaches, this one-hour Action Hour gives you the opportunity to stop, reflect and think about the skills and development you need for the year ahead.
Hosted by Keeley Clements, Training & Development Manager at SEATS, we’ll demystify CPD and PDPs and, more importantly, look at how to make them genuinely useful rather than another document that gets completed and forgotten.
During the hour, we’ll explore:
- What CPD is and why it matters
- What a Personal Development Plan (PDP) is – and how to use one
- How to identify your current strengths and skills gaps
- How technology, AI and changing ways of working could affect the skills you need
- How to think about where you want to be by the end of 2027
- How to turn development needs into realistic, achievable actions
- Where responsibility sits between you, your manager and your employer
You’ll leave with:
A clearer picture of your own development priorities and a practical starting point for your 2027 Personal Development Plan.
No vague New Year’s resolutions. No waiting until your next appraisal.
Your skills. Your career. Your future.
