Career Recommendation Proposal

Career Management Recommendation Proposal:
The purpose of the Career Management Final Exam is to provide you the opportunity to apply career management theory to enhance an organization’s effectiveness.
Career Management RecommendationImagine you are an HR associate. Your task is to make a recommendation to your corporations’ CEO to establish a Career Management Program (this can be the CEO of your company, or of a hypothetical company; if you prefer, you can imagine I am the CEO you are proposing this to). The recommendation should be focused on a specific topic that is relevant to the organization and would enhance it through implementation of your proposal.The Career Management Recommendation should be of sufficient length to cover the subject, but thorough in your answers. Even if you do not know numbers, such as budget, put them in; I don’t check for authenticity, but it makes your proposal stronger. You also should have at least two peer-reviewed sources to support some points made (why your proposed action is valid, the problem you’ve identified, etc.). Be sure to add appendices to strengthen and support your recommendation
The components of your recommendation are as follows:
