Definition of the Career Management Competency:

Career management can be defined as the combination of strategic planning and active personal management of one’s own professional career. According to National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), Career Management coaching activities could include helping an individual identify and articulate one’s skills, strengths, knowledge, and experience relevant to the position desired, communicating career goals, and identifying areas necessary for personal growth.
