Career Management can be described as the active and repetitive process of:

  • Career Assessment of the aspirations and competences of employees,

Some form of it is important to avoid that existing skills and competences become obsolete and to ensure that new skills and competences will be available in a world of changing circumstances, technologies, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations.
