ASSIGNMENT: NR 1

QUESTION 1:
In order to meet and adapt to expectations and requirements that have become part of daily life and work life, it is essential to become a "lifelong learner” '. This is done by continues development and improvement of skills to be more versatile and more competent.
Ongoing learning is very important because any kind and level of work is associated with changes and development, and these changes require new skills and knowledge.
Ongoing learning is to acquire and develop new knowledge, skills and abilities in response to changing performance standards and criteria. There are many challenges, faster and more frequent career changes, changing work situations and environments, and new relationships within and between organisations.
Individuals invest in continuous learning and lifelong development to keep their skills relevant and therefore transferable. Continued learning and lifelong development can take many forms. One category would involve additional training, another category means that a person asks for new assignments or projects that can teach him or her new skills and knowledge. A commitment to learning and development can also mean that a person keeps abreast with development within his or her current organisation as well as other organisations in the industry.
Proactive career development actions set a person able to anticipate change and to be better prepared for it. Ongoing technological development and the numerous opportunities created by the internet, for example, contributed to a movement away from the industrial age to the information and technology age.
Career competency involves individuals "know why" (values, attitudes, internal needs, identity and lifestyle), "know how" (networking, relationships, how to find the right people), "know what" (opportunities, risks and requirements ), "know where" (training and development), and "know when"
