"Progression and success in the future will depend on making the right decisions at the right time in life. No longer is success merely the result of hanging in there year after year and decade after decade. The fluid business world requires a fluid career path. And the best people to give direction in this world are professional career development practitioners." Bernard Salt - Author and Futurist.

To do well in today's work environment, people need to be self-reliant managers of their own careers. As well as having the technical skills and abilities needed to work in a particular role, people also need the skills, knowledge and attitudes to make good career moves. The skills, knowledge, and attitudes people need to manage their own careers can be understood as a set of competencies that can be developed and strengthened over time. ExeConnect has developed programs that align with The Australian Blueprint for Career Development which promotes the following:

In an environment where people move frequently between jobs, and between learning and work roles, they need knowledge about themselves, and the capacity to connect with others.

They need to learn and experience the benefits of:

• Building and maintaining a positive self concept
• Interacting positively and effectively with others, and
• Changing and growing throughout life.

To take advantage of possible options, people need the knowledge and skills to:

• Participate in life-long learning that is supportive of their career goals
• Locate and effectively use career information, and
• Understand the relationship between work, society and the economy.

With interest and support from family members, friends, teachers, and career development practitioners, people can learn how best to:

• Secure/create and maintain work
• Make career enhancing decisions
• Maintain balanced life and work roles, and
• Understand the changing nature of life and work roles.

Developing the eleven career management competencies of the Blueprint will help adults to transition successfully between learning and work roles that support their family and community responsibilities.
