         Career path planning is a process where an individual consciously decides to take control 
         of their career and its direction. Most people spend a considerable amount of time at work 
         and commuting, so they need to ensure they are satisfied, have a sense of fulfilment, are 
         engaged during work hours and enjoy what they do.
         Benefits of career path planning are:
         f  fast‑track your career
         f  greater job satisfaction
         f  greater sense of belonging
         f  increased self-confidence
         By working through this career development guide, you will be able to explore your current 
         values, interests and skills to gain a better understanding of yourself.
