Career PathFinder Workshop

Join us on a journey to discover your ideal Agile career with our Career PathFinder™ workshop led by Charles Walstad, Managing Director at AGILEST®.
This foundational workshop is designed to help you assess your personal strengths, interests, and the current market opportunities within the Agile industry. Through a series of structured activities, you'll gain insights into where your potential can be best applied and develop a strategic plan to advance your professional journey in the Agile realm.

What You Will Do:

• Strengths and Skills Assessment: Engage in guided self-assessment exercises to identify your unique strengths and skills. This activity involves completing a comprehensive questionnaire followed by group discussions to reflect on and validate your findings.
• Interests and Values Alignment: Participate in interactive sessions where you will explore your professional interests and core values through scenario-based role plays and reflective exercises. This step is crucial for understanding what truly motivates you and can lead to sustained career satisfaction and effectiveness.
• Market Opportunity Analysis: Learn how to effectively analyze current trends and opportunities in the Agile marketplace. You will use real-time labor market data and case studies to map out where demand for Agile roles is growing and identify niches that align with your skills and interests.
• Career Mapping: With the information gathered, you will create a personalized Agile career map. This involves outlining potential career paths, setting short-term and long-term goals, and identifying the skills and certifications required to achieve these goals.
• Action Plan Development: The final activity consolidates your assessments into a concrete, actionable career plan. This plan will include detailed steps on networking, additional training, and potential job strategies tailored to your desired career path in Agile.

Why We Do These Activities:

• To Empower: By understanding your strengths and skills, you become empowered to make informed decisions about your career in Agile.
• To Align: Aligning your interests and values with your career goals ensures that you pursue paths that not only bring professional success but also personal fulfillment.
• To Strategize: Analyzing the market lets you identify where you can be most competitive and impactful, enabling you to strategize effectively rather than taking a scattergun approach.
• To Visualize and Plan: Creating a visual career map with actionable steps provides a clear pathway to reach your career objectives, making the process manageable and less daunting.
