Career Path Types - YAML
Career path types are a classification system for career trajectories designed by organizations to support employee growth and development. There are three main paths: management track, specialist track, and generalist track, allowing employees to choose based on their aspirations and aptitudes. In recent years, dual career ladder systems have become widespread, enabling non-management careers to receive equivalent recognition and compensation.
