Career development is the ongoing process of managing one's work life, skills, and professional growth over time, including goal-setting, skill acquisition, networking, and seeking promotions or new opportunities. It is supported by tools like mentorship programs, professional certifications, and employer-sponsored training, and is a key focus of human resources departments and career counselors. Individuals engage in career development throughout their working lives to remain competitive and fulfilled in their chosen field.
