Career Development Research Study
What is the Career Development Research Study?
Established by CareerPoint in partnership with Oxford University, this nine-month study explores how cost-effective coaching interventions can enhance young professionals’ career development and lifetime value to their organizations.
The primary objectives of the research study are:
To gain insights into current career development challenges.
To study young professionals’ perceptions and attitudes towards career development.
To understand to what extent early-stage career coaching can enhance the career prospects.
To provide valuable insights to corporate partners.
How many employees are included?
To participate, each company must nominate 10 employees between 25 and 35.
Why is this research important and why now?
The Future of Work is here:
- The world of work is getting ever more complicated and fragmented. As people take more control over their own career development, it is critical that organizations provide the tools and support to allow their people to autonomously develop, grow and maximize their value.
- Employees are changing job and roles at a much higher level of frequency than in generations past.
Recognizing the importance of Diversity & Inclusion:
- Employees are changing job and roles at a much higher level of frequency than in generations past.
- The outputs of the research study support a corporation’s D&I strategy by identifying critical themes and focus areas.
