Five-Year Career Plan Template

The Five-Year Career Plan is designed to help you develop skills in your current job or
to prepare for your next job. Your five-year plan is very much an individual and personal
plan, and is designed to facilitate your growth, development and advancement. Always
use the SMART model when setting goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic
and within a specific Timeframe.

Plan Period: From - October 2020 To - October 2025


My Current Position: As of right now I am a Level 3 Business student and I am
studying currently in my 2nd year. I have completed 9 units since year 1 and the grades
have been all standard passes. I have also started work placement.
My Long-Term Goal: The long term goal for me is to be an accountant working for a
major business alongside having my own business in order for this to happen. I need to
complete this year with top grades and go to university.

Intermediate Steps Over the Next Five Years to Reach My Goal


Try to set two or three short term goals (i.e. those in the next 2 years) and
the remainder for the medium term (following 3 years)
So this year I am on my last year for this business course, I have a
Year One remainder of 9 units left this year and my aim is to achieve distinctions
throughout these units, passes like my first year will not be enough for me.
Currently I have a work placement which is showing me what the work life
is all about and it is making me pick up new skills that I can take with me
moving forward. As this year goes on I need to write my personal
statement for university. I would like to go to Leeds Beckett University, this
is my first choice but i don’t mind going abroad either.

The year after I would be in my first year of university hopefully doing the
Year Two course I want which is Accounting and Finance. I would aim to achieve the
best grades I possibly can. This year I would also like to have purchased a
car as I am currently doing my driving.
For this year I would be in my 2nd year of my Accounting and Finance
Year Three course with only a year left of university. The focus this year would be the
same as the last, get the grades so then I can move into my last year of
university. Along this year I would also want a job so I can gain
experiences in the world of work.
This would be my last year of university, I would want to get my degree
Year Four with the highest possible grades that I can achieve. Also this year I would
want to develop major skills such as another language or have a good
experience in the world of work as this would give me an advantage
against others. At the end of this year I would be looking for a job that I can
get into after my university time is over.
My final year of this plan would be for me to be in a full time job, working
Year Five on a good salary doing the job I want which is to be an accountant. I would
also want my own home by this time and in future want to manage my own
business.

Personal Development Objectives to Meet My Goals


(what do I need to do to get where I want to be?)
I have a lot of things to do so i can achieve what I want. I will need to have worked for
multiple businesses so I know how work is like so I have full knowledge of that. I would
also want to improve my skills such as presenting in front of big crowds and becoming
more confident in myself.
How can others help me accomplish these objectives?
I can pick up various skills from other students, watching and observing them on certain
tasks would give me knowledge in how to fill in the gaps where I am not so good at. I
could learn off of them and then adapt it to suit me. My tutors at college and university
would also help me accomplish objectives as they will teach me many things I haven’t
learnt yet. Family members such as my uncle who owns a business can help me achieve
my objects, he could teach me how it’s like to run a business and how to maintain it.

What are some educational activities that will help me reach my goals?

What are my development areas and my plan to address these areas?

Development Area: Presenting in front of crowds


Dates
Plan: My plan is to become better at presenting as I Scheduled Completed
believe being able to present in large crowds is very
powerful and a good skill to have.
Present presentations in college. I could do some 2019
presentations in front of a classroom full of students that
would help me be more confident.
Become more confident in myself, this is a reason why my 2019
presenting skills are awful. It's due to the lack of confidence I
possess but this can change depending on how many
presentations I do. The more I do the more confidence I will
gain.

What are my development areas and my plan to address these areas?

Development Area: Better at talking to people/customers.


Dates
Plan: I speak fluent english however it’s the way I speak, Scheduled Completed
I use too much slang which will need to change as it is
not professional. So my plan is to cut down on the slang
and sound more professional
Use other alternative words for the slang I use, learn 2019
replacement words for the slang words I use. This will take
time to get used to but can be achieved in a few months.
Become better at listening to people/customers so I can be 2019
responsive to their requests.
If I am working then I would like to speak in a way that makes 2019
the customer feel welcome and confident. Making them happy
and feeling welcome would be an amazing skill to have.

What are my development areas and my plan to address these areas?

Development Area: Consistency


Dates
Plan: I need to be more consistent and learn to stay Scheduled Completed
motivated no matter what the situation is. I tend to get
demotivated quickly.
Keep myself motivated, I can do this by looking at the final 2019
outcome if I stay focussed. When I get set on a long task I
tend to become less consistent as I become demotivated. In
order to keep myself motivated I will usually think about the
outcome of the set task and I will try to push myself on until
the end.
Learn not to give up easily and not go down without a fight. I 2019
will need to gain the skill of being resistant and determined
which is currently a growing ambition in me.

Plan to revisit your plan often to make sure you stay on track and that your goals remain relevant to your
career plan.
