Abstract
A career development framework that can be used to facilitate the development of many different business careers. The career development framework specifies required competencies for a career and requirements that need to be satisfied to attain each competency. A student of the career controls the pace and order in which the competencies are to be attained. A coach assists the student in satisfying the requirements and decides whether the student has satisfied the requirements and ultimately has attained the competency.
