Long Range Planning and Contingency Activity

Step 1

Identify your short-, intermediate-, and long-range career plans. Please outline each plan and how your short and intermediate plans will help you achieve your long-range career plan. Please refer back to your notes on the time frames for Short, Intermediate, and Long.

Step 2

To reinforce the ideas of contingency planning consider what might happen in your own lives during the next five years (referring to the career planning you have done in step 1). Develop the parameters of different personal scenarios that could occur in trying to achieve your goal at the various ranges and describe how you would deal with these different scenarios ( I want one scenario and contingency for each range- short, intermediate and long).
