Career Path: pick a goal, see the steps
The path is drawn from your own skills. Real roles in your sector and the skills those roles ask for are listed, and you add evidence for every skill you gain.
Three steps
- Pick your goal
- The Growth Compass offers four directions: deepen a skill, move to an adjacent field, step up, or go independent.
- See the steps
- For the direction you choose, it lists the real roles in your sector and the skills those roles ask for.
- Prove it
- When you gain a skill you add your evidence. It is written into your profile and shown to employers with your application.
The four directions of the Growth Compass
- Go deeper
- Skills that take the work you already do further. For people who want to specialise in the same role.
- Move sideways
- Nearby roles that your current skills map onto. For changing role without changing sector.
- Step up
- Roles that grow your responsibility and scope. The team leadership and coordination direction.
- Go independent
- The freelance and own-business direction. Portfolio and client relationships lead here.

Frequently asked
- How is the path drawn?
- It starts from the skills on your profile. Based on the direction you pick, it lists roles in your sector and the skills those roles ask for in postings.
- What is evidence for?
- When you gain a skill you add its evidence. It goes onto your profile and your CV, so it is a record rather than a claim.
- Where do the roles come from?
- From the curated direction guides in the sector definitions and from real titles in the job pool. There is no invented role list.
- Does it give a score?
- No. Career Path does not produce a score; it shows direction and steps. A score exists only in job matching, and its reasoning is shown.
