Career Labs

Creating a culture of growth and career development is critical to increase employability and impact.

Many employees crave opportunities for career development. Your organisation probably wants to provide those opportunities. Yet, it can be challenging to promote continuous learning in a large organisation across many time zones and geographies. Career Labs are a low-cost and high-impact way to link career management and learning

The webinar was excellent. The presenters were fantastic and kept the webinar on point and very interesting. They also took some very good questions from the participants, which was extremely useful. The presenters spoke about their personal experiences and gave very practical tips. The session was just excellent!

A dynamic learning environment to build career development skills

What are Career Labs?

Career Labs have been designed to enhance the employee experience. They promote dialogue by providing exercises, tools and guidance for career development. As a result, the Career Labs can support all employees in their career planning.

Benefits of the Career Labs

The Career Labs help employees:

  • Reflect on their career to date to develop self-awareness and self-insight
  • Define their career ambitions and communicate them to their manager/HR professional
  • Identify what support they need to make progress
  • Map out the knowledge, skills and experience needed to achieve their career goals
  • Identify strategies for developing their capabilities
  • Commit to actions that focus on their own progression and development

Who are the career labs for?

Career Labs are for large groups of individuals in organisations. It is a way for organisations to provide support on a large scale. It is a resource to encourage employees to take ownership of their career development.

How do the Career Labs work?

Career Labs provide employees with a dynamic learning environment to build career development skills. They encourage employees to take ownership of their growth and development.

Career Labs are offered as large-scale workshops/webinars. The live sessions are conducted virtually so that attendees can take part from a wide range of geographies and time zones. The sessions are recorded so that non-attendees can take part at an alternative time if that is more convenient.

Outlined below are some of the topics on offer.
