This assignment requires you to prepare 5 goals that you would like to achieve by the end of the semester, related to your Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experiences, using the sheet provided.

Assignment Instructions: At the top of the sheet provided, Goal Setting Part A Worksheet  write down your full name, student number, and your WIL position and company. You will see four columns that you must fill out. In the first column, you must write down five goals that you would like to achieve by the end of the semester. In the second column, write down three “action steps” per goal that will help you attain the goals (for a total of 15 action steps). Action steps are specific action steps that will help you to achieve your goals. Remember to review the SMART acronym in this unit’s lecture in order to create your goals and your action steps. The third column requires you to include a target completion date for each goal. The fourth and final column requires you to write out possible obstacles you may face in achieving your goals.

PART B (10%)

This assignment requires you to reflect on the 5 goals you prepared near the beginning of the semester (for Part A of this assignment), which were related to your Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experiences.

Assignment Instructions: This is the second part (Part B) of your Goal Setting Assignment. For each goal you created in Part A of the Goal Setting Assignment, you will write out each goal in the first column for the Part B assignment sheet. In the second column of this sheet, you will let me know if the original goal outlined in Part A was realistic in the timeframe you had given. Why or why not? In the third column, you will let me know how you knew if you were successful in reaching your goal, OR, how did you know that you were not successful in reaching your goal? In the fourth and final column, you will provide me with some information regarding your greatest challenge(s) in terms of reaching the goal set. I have included a worksheet to help you along:  Goal Setting Assignment – Part B

Additionally, you are required to outline two future goals that you set for yourself now that you are finished your WIL. These goals have to be related to your WIL. Provide two specific goals, a timeline for attaining these two new goals, information regarding how you will know if you have reached these two new goals, as well as the barrier(s) you perceive to overcome. Make sure you are specific as you enter all of this information into the charts provided for Part B of your Goal Setting Assignment.
