The aim of assessment task 2 is to enable students to build on their knowledge and
skills of SHRM theories and processes about career management and employability
through a reflection approach. Students will have the opportunity to reflect on their
strengths and areas for development as it relates to their career goals. This
assessment will also help students to understand the connections between theory
and practice and develop practical skills in developing and managing one’s career in
a competitive and global world.
