7 Scope Professional and competency development focus You prepare your own Learning & Development (L&D) Plan You will be responsiblefor realising this plan during your course -deliver your competencies You will need to exploit all available opportunities You will need to self manage throughout the program 7

8 Overview and rationale for focus on competencies APIC education and program philosophy Competencies are focal - A reliably measurable, relatively enduring characteristic of an individual which is causally related to and statistically predicts effective or superior performance in a job"(spencer, 1997; Spencer & Spencer, 1993). A number of competency areas (units of study) have been defined by the college. Students decide on which competencies and to what levelthey are required to lead to success in their chosen careers in the environment that they will work/live.

9 Outcomes and benefits of this workshop Understand the underpinning philosophy of the college Understand the processes and activities needed in professional development planning Prepare your own L&D Plan Benchmark against colleagues Test your academic learning and writing skills 9

10 Expectations Hands on participation and initiative Ownership of the process Responsible for outcomes Need to have an approved L&D Plan as baseline for professional development Manage the process in the future 10

11 Assignment Phase This unit of study requires every student to extend and expand on the knowledge learnt during the workshop. Each student needs to prepare and submit twoassignments that will be assessed and graded formally: 1. An individual reflective essay to explore all aspects of professionalism focusing on socio-cultural, leadership and personal competences 2. A personal learning and development plan that conforms to the L&D Plan Specification (On OLS). Note: Students must pass all components 11

12 Individual Reflective Essay An essay to succinctly review the literature, particularly focusing on socio-cultural and personal competencies Task: Each student needs to develop a reflective and critical essay focusing on the socio-cultural and personal competencies we focus on in this unit of study. Each essay is to be a maximumof 1000 words. Topic: What is the role of socio-cultural competencies for the professional manager in making a positive difference to society? We are looking for a) an understanding of what these socio-cultural competencies are, b) how professional managers use them and/or develop them, and c) what these competencies help the professional managers to achieve. Detail: This requires a definition for the specific socio-cultural competence with at least one academic reference (using APA Style referencing) per competency. Why are these competencies important? i.e. What are the specific outcomes of having, or consequences of not having each one? Remember that the professional manager in today s society is your context. Use an example of a professional business leader to exemplify these competencies. How are each competencies operationalised? i.e. How does your leader show these competencies and what specific outcomes do they allow your leader to achieve? To set ideas in motion: and other topics/leaders here. 12

13 The Individual Professional Development Process (L&D Plan) Make a decision to develop yourself Determine your goals (What is your target role in target industry?) Understand what the competencies mean Understand what the levels of competencies mean Assess your current competencies using CAT Define competency targets (vs. intended role/competency standard) Plan your learning and development (L&D Plan) Undertake a competence-based development program Monitor effectiveness and efficiency and complete the program (over time) 13
