Imperial College Employability - ICE

This website is for those who wish to benefit from Personal Development Planning and should be used in a progressive way throughout your studies.

The website is divided into the five stages described below:

Stage 1. Introduction
What Development Planning can do for you.

Stage 2. Self-Assessment
Encourages you to recognise your strengths and identify the areas in which you can improve.

Stage 3. Development Opportunities
Download a Personal Development Plan Template and use the information on development opportunities to complete it.

Stage 4. Course & Work Assessment
Record the activities you undertake and the progress you are making on your Personal Development Plan. Develop a portfolio of examples that illustrate your abilities.

Stage 5. Key Skills
Pull together your Course and Work Assessments in an analytical way that expresses your achievements in the optimum way to employers.

This website is designed to enable those who have little or no knowledge of personal development planning to create their own Personal Development Plan. (Such students should click on the link to stage 1 given above and work through the website following the guidance given.) However, even if you have produced a Personal Development Plan before, much of the information provided in this site will be of use to you so please take the time to have a look at all the pages. Personal Development Plans are evolving documents which can always be developed and improved!!

You are not expected to work through and complete all five stages at any one time. Indeed, you will not be able to complete all of the stages until you have nearly finished your course of studies at the College!

We hope that this website will be of use to you and would like to know what you think of the pages. If you have any comments to make, please email careers@imperial.ac.uk
