FAQs

Start by listing out your goals in a professional development template. Professional development plan examples typically have concrete, easily quantifiable goals where you are able to measure your progress and eventual success. Your goals should also come with a specific timeline.

Examples of objectives may include:

- Finish a coding course in the next three months

- Get involved in two new projects outside of your department by the end of the year

- Give a presentation at the local professional organization in the next month

Professional development can include a variety of subject areas and training types; however, these are the five main areas that are often included in employee development plan examples:

1. Management and leadership – Leadership skills aren’t reserved for upper-level and C-suite positions; everyone can benefit from the flexibility, strategic thinking, active listening, and delegation required of leaders.

2. Technical skills – Empower your employees with new capabilities, from basic coding and graphic design to vehicle maintenance.

3. Teamwork – Forge stronger teams that can more effectively collaborate by hosting workshops focused on team bonding and group problem-solving.

4. Communication – Teach the art of talking—and, more importantly, listening—for more seamless internal interactions, better client-facing relationships, and a more collaborative workforce.

5. Organization – Streamline workflows and workstations by imparting logical organizational thinking to your teams.

If you’re wondering how to continue your career growth, try out these professional development examples:

Education – Pursue formal schooling, learn a new skill through an online course, attend company training, or begin a personal research project.

Community – Join a professional organization, gather your collaborators for a side project, or sit down for a coffee chat with professionals further along in your field.

Career – Take on new responsibilities at work, learn about different departments, or ask to participate in an upcoming project.
