I have created a Gantt Chart based on my Goals (Objectives, Aims and Ambitions). I will now relate them to my own Training Needs, which were Teamwork and Time Management, and My Learning Styles, which were Kinaesthetic and Visual.
As regards Teamwork, I need to improve my ability to communicate amongst my team members. This is due to the fact that I often work alone, so when I am needed for team tasks, my communication about my work can sometimes let me down.
The issue with my Time Management is that I don’t prioritise enough and struggle to prioritise when two tasks need to be completed at the same time.
My learning style was a mixture between Kinaesthetic and Visual, as I prefer more hands-on approach with diagrams and pictured instructions or watching someone else then trying it out for myself.
My First Goal was the Objective to pass the course or get close to doing so, by the end of the first year. to do this I will use my learning styles to pick up the knowledge that I need to get the work done. For example when learning about Gantt charts I watched the tutors example and tried to do one for myself, which was successful. I must also start planning and keeping on top of the workload, which will ensure that I overcome my Time Management trouble. Also I will have to improve my ability to work with others, overcomiong my Teamwork issues, which I have previously identified.
My next Goal was the Aim to get into a good university and follow on to get a job in the I.T industry. Here I will have a good mindset for Time Keeping after improving on it whilst at college. Also, my Teamwork skills are already improving, which will make it easier to work in a professional team, in an I.T role.
Finally my last goal was the Ambition to live comfortably in a well paid job, with a good retirement plan.
