Academy for Continuing Education (ACE)

This course aims to equip HR practitioners, line managers and supervisors, who have leadership responsibilities, to provide effective career coaching to the people they lead in the course of their work.

With rapid technological advancements, and new ways of organising work, making multiple career transitions in one’s lifetime is fast becoming the norm for every individual engaged in the global economy.  

While organisations can continue to play a key role in supporting employees with career management initiatives, the responsibility of managing a person’s career lies primarily with the individual.

Understanding Career (Self-) Management is critical to both supervisors and employees.
