Career development and career planning are very significant in the current age of technology, because current century and global changes have given birth to an atmosphere in which nearly everything is in competition with each other. This case is also valid for educators. On one side, everything is changing very fast; on the other side, they are supposed to adopt themselves these rapid changes. Such an adaptation requires some certain commitment, motivation and planning concerning themselves and their students. In this sense, being just a good teacher will not be enough. Engaged employees invest in career planning and development on their own in addition to any offered by an employer. Some employers do not offer planning and development, so it is up to the individual to ensure growth needs are a priority. Career development is a win-win focusing on the employee's needs for growth along with providing benefits to the business.
