Career Design for Lifewide Learners
We are all lifewide learners, constantly discovering more about ourselves, our strengths, and the world around us. This mindset matters — the future of work calls for experimentation, continuous learning, and the ability to shape a purpose-driven path.
At the heart of career design is this very idea of lifewide learning. Designing your career isn’t a one-time sprint, but an ongoing process that evolves throughout your life and work.
How can you plan your career during this highly volatile and unpredictable time often depicted as the 4th industrial revolution? You can’t – at least not with traditional tools and mindsets.
As stable jobs and predictable career tracks have disappeared, career choice is no longer a one-time affair. Crafting a sustainable career requires lifewide learning, frequent transitions and adaptable identities.
Career design is a creative approach that help you to adjust and experiment with new directions amidst all the change.
