Term Project - 312 "5-Year Plan"

A lot of what we do in HR involves striving towards employee satisfaction, either directly or indirectly through recruiting activities, training & development, compensation, benefits, etc. (or "getting people to where they want to be"). Ultimately, companies cannot be successful without the success of their employees, so it is imperative that companies stay focused on developing their staffs and helping them manage their careers. For this assignment, students will be asked to consider their own personal careers from a strategic perspective. Where do you want to be 5 years from now and more importantly, how do you plan to get there? Students will develop a power point presentation that should include the following:

1. The overall 5-year goal (i.e. what type/level of position do you hope to be at in 5 years).

2. The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities required for your 5-year goal. *Resources should be used for this requirement.

2. A minimum of 5 tactical steps that will help you to achieve your overall goal (i.e. degree completion, specific experience, "stepping stone" jobs, other training opportunities, etc.).

3. An analysis of the following considerations relative to your overall goal:

a. Job Structure Requirements (i.e. level, duties, etc.)

b. Compensation/Benefit Requirements

c. Work/Life Balance Requirements

The presentation should be narrated (your voice as the audio) with your script provided in the "notes" section.

All resources need to be in APA format, including a Reference Page and in-text citations (these can be included in the slide itself or in the narration notes).

It is recommended that you review the "Creating Presentations" information, located in the "Toolbox" tab.

The first version of this presentation will be due on Day 1 of Week 6, with the final version being due on Day 5 of Week 6.
