LO3 Evaluate problem solving and decision-making techniques to aspects of their personal/professional development

TASK
You are required to write a Personal and Professional Development (PPD) Plan for yourself. The plan is a written account of self-reflection and improvement, which should also provide a detailed action plan used to fulfil academic, personal, or career-based goals
You must recognise your strengths and weaknesses and establish aims and objectives to help identify the need for improvement. Your plan should consist of your own personalised CPPD (Continuous Professional Personal Development) that will help you to objectively identify any new goals you may have set and outline changes made to your plan based on your evaluation (LO2, LO3)
Reflect on your personal and professional development to identify the transferable/ employability skills you have developed over the duration of the course. Consider how the development of these skills will enable you to be successful on the course and within the workplace. (LO4)
Other relevant assessment information:
When creating your own Personal and Professional Development Plan, it is essential to make sure it accurately outlines your personal goals, why they are important to you, and how you plan to achieve them.
Although all PPDs are specific to each individual, the plan will generally detail your ideal future based on your short and/or long-term ambitions. Areas of development will be specific to you, and could be centred on work, education, or self-improvement.
It should also always recognise the potential obstacles you might face, and how you propose to overcome them – and if the roadblocks cannot be tackled, include a contingency plan to help your career keep moving forward.
