Description
This training takes students through the process of setting and achieving goals using the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). This evidence-based framework helps in creating clear, attainable, and meaningful goals, enhancing the likelihood of success. Studies have found that providing employees with specific, measurable goals significantly increased their performance compared to when they were given no goals or vague, non-quantifiable goals (Bahrami et al., 2022).

This course was developed through a collaboration between mentoring experts Jean Rhodes and Alexandra Werntz, the Center for Evidence-Based Mentoring and workforce development experts at the Council for Opportunities in Education (COE) for their pioneering Career Opportunities Initiative.
