Career Pathing: Ladder v. Lattice

Career Ladder:

Career Lattice:

• Moves into a position of higher responsibility skill and/or authority • Straight career path within a certain industry • Pros: specialize and focused career • Cons: can limit exposure and knowledge of other areas of the business

• Career moves in any direction (upward, lateral, and/or downward) • Provides career

progression & exposure to various parts of the business

• Pros: increases

knowledge & skill of multiple areas of the business • Cons: may take longer to achieve career goals

Career pathing is managed by the associate & coached by the supervisor. Forward career progression is not guaranteed and is the responsibility of the associate. Career paths are not the same for each associate.
