Career planning is identifying what you're good at and how your skills, talents and interests translate into work and learning options that make sense for you. It is about identifying how you want to live your life.

Career planning is a lifelong process, which includes choosing an occupation, getting a job, growing in our job, possibly changing jobs or occupations, and eventually retiring. Career planning is a cyclical process that continues throughout your career.
