Career Development & Advancement Institute

A career-redesigning institute created to point you in the right direction with information about creating a workable plan for your career and sticking to it. It is also a strategic forum designed to get you on the right career path and give you the skills you need for a happy and successful career.

We are offering a highly-structured course to provide skills training and assistance for adults who are trying to find employment, transitioning back into the workforce, or becoming more marketable. Improving your future is quicker than you think! At CDAI, we have the ability and capacity to help you achieve that.

 

Why you need to take charge of your own career development...

As an experienced professional, you know that the reliable way to get ahead in your career is to perform excellently, and to beat all performance expectations. To do this, you need to work hard, develop your skills, and show wisdom and good leadership.

Hard work is up to you. However you can learn the rest: you can deliver exceptional performance if you build the right leadership, personal effectiveness and people skills; and get the right training and coaching. But it's not just performance that matters here: these same skills help you grow as a capable, well-balanced, happy person. The problem is that employers aren't investing in long-term skills development, particularly in the current economic climate.

The average working person in the US receives five days training each year. (We believe this is true around the World, not just in the US.) More than three quarters of this is functional and short-term: teaching people to use IT systems, company processes, industry-specific skills, and so on.

This means that the average working person receives only one day's training each year focused on the essential skills that make a real, long-term difference for a successful career: leadership, team management, problem solving, decision making, project and change management, personal effectiveness, communication skills, and more.

So when was the last time you got really good training in these areas?

More than this, when was the last time you got the really close and valuable coaching, mentoring and guidance that everyone needs (and is supposed to get) from their boss if they're to make the most of their careers? Is this why getting ahead can seem so difficult?

So, if you're not getting this from your company, what are you going to do to take control?

 

Here's the Positive Way for You to Take Charge of Your Life and Career

The Career Development & Advancement Institute is a place where our students get the training, coaching, and the support they need to get ahead in their careers and make personal growth a constant and ongoing part of their lives.

As you begin to attend our classes, you can quickly learn more than 1,000 individual skills, receive more than 60 focused career and skills-training resource materials, and more; all focused on helping you get the very most from your career.

With these resources, you can take control, develop yourself, and take charge of your own life and career.

We’ve lined up a few great speakers to talk about a range of topics for job-seekers, mid-career professionals, and anyone looking to hone valuable skills, including: resume and professional writing; maximizing the value of the CDAI experience and other professional skills.

 

Our Career Development Workshops and Seminars

It is becoming more and more apparent that having a doctorate and being an expert in your field does not automatically set you on a fixed career path. In fact, devising a focused career strategy is now becoming part of the job of successful researchers.

Career planning is a process that begins when you enter college and continues throughout your life; and all the resource persons serving in the institute understands that each student and alumna/us is in a unique situation.

Our career development workshops and seminars are designed to guide exploration into your career field of interest and to engage you in learning about career development and global competence.

 

Our career development workshops and seminars seek to address several basic questions such as:

  • Where are you in your career and your life?

Our career guidance program for higher secondary school students and parents

Our Career Guidance program is a comprehensive, developmental program designed to assist school students in making and implementing informed higher educational opportunities and occupational choices. A career guidance and counseling program develops an individual's competencies in self-knowledge, educational and occupational exploration, and the right career planning. Every higher secondary school student requires an informative and dynamic seminar that will prepare them for those life-changing career decisions that they face. This career guidance program will put them in touch with today’s changing global marketplace trends and tomorrow’s career opportunities.

Our career guidance program for higher secondary school students and parents helps people to reflect on their ambitions, interests, qualifications and abilities. It helps them to understand the labour market and education systems, and to relate this to what they know about themselves. This comprehensive career guidance program tries to teach people to plan and make decisions about work and learning. This career guidance program makes information about the labour market and about educational

opportunities more accessible by organizing it, systematizing it, and making it available when and where people need it.

The career guidance program for higher secondary school students and parents consists of services that help students successfully manage their career development. Although this aspect of human development occurs on its own as we mature, everyone can benefit from assistance navigating through this process. 

The Career Development and Advancement Institute (CDAI) is an Institute of National Importance. The Institute strives to develop into a globally recognized and acclaimed centre of academic excellence in the field of career development and advancement, fully responsive to the national agenda for inclusive growth, and the needs and aspirations of young people of the country to realize their potentials to create a just society and get in touch with today’s changing global marketplace trends and tomorrow’s career opportunities.

CDAI has taken a novel initiative of providing structured career guidance for the students, parents & teachers with an objective of creating awareness among them on various career choices of available after school education.

 

At CDAI, learning isn’t just in the classroom, it's a total experience.
