Career Conversations

Penn State believes that supporting career development for our employees is critical to the success of our organization. A career conversation is an opportunity to learn about an individual's strengths, interests, and career aspirations and identify the skills they need to develop to take on future roles. While the end of year performance review conversation looks back at performance over the prior year, a career conversation is focused on the future.
