How Developing Skills Throughout Your Career Matters

摘要

Continuing professional development (CPD) is one of those things in business that often forms part of a wider conversation. It is raised at annual reviews, explored as a means of enabling promotion or introduced as an incentive to keep staff onside. The reality is CPD is so much more; it is embedded in everyday working life, an invisible force that drives us on to bigger and better things in our careers. In the mineral extractives and quarrying sector, the job of promoting the professionalism and standards required for people working within the industry falls firmly on the shoulders of the Institute of Quarrying (IQ). This is measured through a combination of experience gained in the workplace, formal educational and industry-accredited qualifications.
