Developing Your Professional Portfolio
Monday, February 2, 2009, 6:00pm
Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington, Exhibition Room A
Your progress in the information profession will be driven primarily by you: your performance on the job,
your decisions, and your actions. You can make your own luck when it comes to careers, not just by being in the right
place at the right time, but also by evaluating what skills and experience you will need for that next step, or that
perfect job, and by planning to develop your competence, learn new skills, and make contacts. In short, you will develop
your own professional portfolio. Learn how to work with your employer, colleagues and friends to determine the skills
you need, create opportunities to learn, and ensure that your professional portfolio is an active and ever-growing
contribution to your successful career.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- The value of the portfolio approach to career management
- How to undertake a self-assessment, to determine which skills need development;
- How to write a personal development plan
- Sources, resources and support for long-term and on-going personal development
When: Monday, February 2, 2009, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
