Which of the followings are Career Development Initiatives? A. Career Planning workshops. B. Mentoring C. Career Counselling D. Coaching E. Personal Development Plans Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A, B, C and E Only
A, B, C and E only — option 2, as recorded in the official key.
What career development initiatives are. The organised activities by which an employer helps employees identify where they want to go and acquire what they need to get there — distinct from ordinary job training, which serves the present role rather than the future one.
| Initiative | What it does |
|---|---|
| A — Career planning workshops | Structured group sessions in which employees assess their skills, interests and values, learn what paths exist in the organisation, and draw up career goals |
| B — Mentoring | A longer-term relationship with a more experienced person who gives guidance, sponsorship, exposure and advice on the unwritten rules — the classic career-development relationship, and explicitly career-focused rather than task-focused |
| C — Career counselling | Individual advice, from the manager or a specialist, on options, aspirations and realistic next steps — often built into the appraisal discussion |
| E — Personal development plans | A written, individual plan of development objectives and the activities to meet them, reviewed periodically — the document that converts intention into action |
Why coaching is treated as the exception. The distinction is between coaching and mentoring, and it is a standing examination point :
| Coaching | Mentoring | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Performance in the current job — a specific skill or task | The whole person and the whole career |
| Horizon | Short term, task-bound | Long term, relationship-bound |
| Who does it | Usually the line manager or a specialist coach | A senior person, usually outside the direct reporting line |
| Agenda set by | Largely the coach or the organisation | Largely the mentee |
On that reading coaching belongs to performance management and immediate skill improvement rather than to career development, which is why the key excludes it. In modern practice the line is blurred and many firms count coaching among their career-development offerings — but the classification tested here is the traditional one.
Other initiatives in the same family : job posting and internal advertising, job rotation and developmental assignments, succession planning, dual career ladders, tuition assistance, and career resource centres.
Hence, the answer is A, B, C and E Only.
