Abstract
The Individual Development Plan for Career Development Professionals is an IDP worksheet to guide individuals who are pursuing careers in graduate/postdoctoral career development through the process of creating their own IDP. The worksheet is designed as an IDP tool for all career levels, including those preparing to enter this field, practitioners seeking to grow within their current positions, or those looking to advance or pursue a career transition. The tool includes prompts to guide one through exercises that help one assess their skills, values, interests, progress and growth; set goals and define an action plan; and consider the resources, mentorship, and community that they may need to help develop a fulfilling career. Though designed for professionals in the career development field, this tool may also be helpful for those in other academic administration or education roles. This tool was designed by members of the Professional Development Committee of the Graduate Career Consortium, an international member organization to help individuals advance the field of graduate and postdoctoral career and professional development.
