SWOT Analysis The first step in the assignment is to evaluate your current situation. SWOT is an acronym. It stands for your personal Strengths and Weaknesses and the Opportunities and Threats of your environment (everything that is not you.) You will evaluate your strengths and weaknesses (your technical and leadership skills) through the use of an assessment (located in this folder), introspection, and feedback from other people, who know you. You will make a few decisions about what you want for your professional and personal life, the necessary strengths (skills and experiences you will need and the people, whose support you will need), and the opportunities you will seek to move from where you are today to the future you want.
