An action plan devised for a particular employee that sets out a programme of training and learning (both on and off the job) that will allow the employee to increase his or her competencies in line with the organization's requirements. For the individual, this may have the benefit of improving his or her career opportunities within the organization. The plan should be devised in partnership with the employees so that it can incorporate their interests and reflect their willingness to develop particular aspects of their work roles. [.]
