Five-Year Career Plan Template

The Five-Year Career Plan is designed to help you develop skills in your current job
or to prepare for your next job. Your five-year plan is very much an individual and
personal plan, and is designed to facilitate your growth, development and
advancement. Always use the SMART model when setting goals: ​S​pecific,
M​easurable, ​A​ttainable, ​R​ealistic and within a specific ​T​imeframe.

Plan Period:​ From - 2019-2024

My Current Position:​ I am currently a student at Shipley College and studying

Level 3 BTEC Business Extended Diploma.

My Long-Term Goal:​ My long term goal is that I want to be working in Business

Management.

Intermediate Steps Over the Next Five Years to Reach My Goal

Try to set two or three short term goals (i.e. those in the next 2 years) and
the remainder for the medium term (following 3 years)
In my first year the goal that i have set is that i want to be able to get
Year One distinctions in all my assignments. In order for me to do this I have to
make sure that I am putting my best effort into all of my work and paying
attention in all my classes. As well as that I would also like to hope that i
have got a place in Leeds Beckett university this is because they are
offering a Business with Law course and that is something i am interested
in doing.

In my second year I would have liked to have secured a place in Leeds

Year Two Beckett and doing the course that I want which is Business Management
with Law
In my third year I will hopefully be in my second year in University. As well
Year Three as that during my year in University I will hopefully keep on top of my
assignments and make sure that I am doing the best I can and doing the
work that I need to. As well as that I will also want to start on improving
my communication skills because sometimes I get nervous when talking
to people so in order for me to get better I will have to start improving on
them because the job that I want to do requires me to talk and
communicate with people.
In my 4th year I will hopefully be in my third year of university and now
Year Four starting to apply for future jobs that I am interested in. As well as that I will
also be preparing for my placement year that I will be doing during my
time in University
In my fifth year I would have liked to finish my placement year and
Year Five hopefully graduated University. As well as that as I would like to have
secured a place in a suitable job for when I have graduated from
University.

Personal Development Objectives to Meet My Goals

(what do I need to do to get where I want to be?)
In order for me to get into Leeds Beckett and do the course that I want to do I will have to
make sure that I receive a distinction in all my assignments because the University
requires 112 UCAS points and in order for me to get that I will have to get a distinction in
all my assignments.
 How can others help me accomplish these objectives?
I know that as of right now my family and friends will be able to help me in my college
assignments and also my tutors at college will be back to help me understand anything if
I needed help because I have to make sure that I get a distinction on my assignments.

When I am in university i will be able to ask my university teacher to give me guidance

and advice on what is right to do and what isn't. Also the people on my course will be
able to help me on any assignments that we have and any additional notes that I need
they will be able to provide it to me.
