Abstract
An examination of follow-up surveys of participants in ten career planning and development workshops at the Naval Surface Weapons Center (NSWC) indicates that on every measure which shows a statistically robust difference, the change is in a direction that was suggested or recommended by the workshop. Participants (1) give the workshop high marks in helping them meet the NSWC objectives, (2) do the things which the workshop teaches and recommends to advance their careers, (3) overwhelmingly recommend the workshop to others in NSWC, (4) accomplish both the one-month and six-month goals they set for themselves, and (5) see improvements in their performance on the job. The supervisors who recommended these participants to the workshop believe the workshops are worthwhile, and judge that the workshops meet the objectives they had for sending the participants in the first place. Following their article, the author presents a bibliography on career development in organizations.
