wonder, what is next after landing on your dream job or getting your desired profession
or vocation? Learning should never stop once you became employed, you need to
continuously improve and undergo lifelong learning activities that can help you grow in
your chosen profession and reach your ultimate career goal. Lifelong learning is
composed of different strategies or activities that can help you improvecontinuously in
knowledge, skills and other competencies that are important in your life and career.

Conferences for Educators, Nurse Practitioner Conference, and others)

development (e.g. Reading plan for improving leadership skills)

___.
MY LIFELONG LEARNING PLAN
Name: ____________________________________
Track and Strand: ___________________________________
Though there is no prescribed procedure in creating a Lifelong Learning Plan,
the following are the suggested steps that one can undertake to come up with an
effective career progression plan:
1. Start by identifying your areas of improvement
After being employed or hired in your desired profession or vocation, you can
still advance inthat career and aspire to reach a higherstatus. The initial step is to
identify areas of improvement in knowledge, skills, competencies, and values that
you need to prioritize in achieving your career goals. This can be done through a
Career Gap Analysis, wherein you will compare your current situation to your
career goals, then describe what you need to accomplish in orderto achieve them.

Remember that goals and objectives must be SMART, which means specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Restate your gap description
intoobjective as shown below.
Gap Description Objectives
I need to acquire the qualifications To be appointed as Secondary School
for Principal I by finishing my BS and Principal I after 12 years.

earning the work experience

3. Write your plans to bridge the gap.

Now, let us work with the main part of your Lifelong Learning Plan. The
objectives that you set will bridgethe gap in your career progression. However, to
ensure the accomplishment of these objectives, you need to identify lifelong
learning activities, key persons and resources involved in achieving your life and
careergoals. It is also important to make your objectives time-bound and set
mode of verification as proof of your objectives’ attainment:

Gap Bridging Plan

Objectives Lifelong Resources Time Mode of
Learning Frame Verification

Strategies Financial Accomplishment)
To be -Traditional Parents, Scholarships 2018- Appointment
appointed as tertiary and relatives, P100,000 2027 Paper as
Secondary graduate teachers, Principal I
Principal I education guidance
after 12 counselor
years

To fill in the lifelong learning activities or strategies column, you can choose
from the list of lifelong learning strategies discussed in this module, the best
activity that will close the gap between your career goals and your present
realities.
No man is an island, the cliché goes. To achieve your career goals, you need key
persons that can help you accomplish your objectives for personal and career
development. Your family, friends, colleagues, mentors or coaches, department
heads, supervisors, even spiritual or financial advisers can actually be part of the
key persons involved in your career development.
Career advancement is also an investment, you need to allot financial or
materials resources to accomplish doable tasks that will help you achieve your
set objectives.

Your LLP should be time bound, setting time frame for each objective to
accomplish will somehow help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals
on time.
Mode of verification is an actual evidence of your outcome after doing a
particular lifelong learning activity. It can be a certificate of participation in a
training or workshop, a coaching or mentoring form, or Transcript of Records
after finishing your Master’s degree.
