career development workshops

Overview

Xplore offers a range of short interactive workshops covering topics that affect career development. Each of these 2-hour workshops includes:

	Pre-reading - 2 or 3 web-based articles
	A facilitated session with tips provided
	Workshop evaluation summarised
	Short summary of key discussion points

The workshop will be run in a round table format with 6 to 8 participants at each table. The session will be totally interactive with activities of personal reflection, discussions in pairs and working in their table group. Participants leave our workshops empowered and often want to explore areas that will grow and empower them as people and as leaders.

Workshops can be adapted to your specific needs at an additional cost.

These workshops were developed to provide organisations a series of short interventions to develop their key talent. They encourage participants to take responsibility for their personal and professional development.
