This paper explores career within the competitive and dynamic environment of today's organisations. The paper aims to enhance students' ability to analyse the latest research about careers and to recognise the implications both for their own career management and for the design of organisational career paths. Topics include analysing the external context of career and career management and development theories; and a consideration of the implications of increased workforce diversity and of health and safety for individual and organisational career management and development. The emphasis is on providing students with the opportunity to formulate ideas about how to manage their own career and to provide insight about how organisations might benefit from designing career paths for staff.
