Onward & Upward

In a still-lagging economy, do people even think about career advancement? Absolutely. We asked 3,611 recent training participants how important career advancement is to them right now. Of our respondents, 27 percent said it was extremely important, and 34 percent said it was very important. So what is the “extremely important” group doing differently than everyone else? In addition to seeking out training opportunities in their organization and attending required training, 61 percent said they actively network in their industry. Also, among those who rated career advancement as extremely important, nearly 57 percent said they visit professional Websites, and nearly 25 percent said they take classes at a college or university. Also high on the list: reading professional books, magazines, and journals.
