Career discovery
See where your interests could take you.
Profile your career interests, explore the real occupations they point at, then test those directions against the experience you already have. Nothing is invented and nothing is ranked for you.
How it works
- 1Profile your interests
- 2Explore directions
- 3Test against your evidence
Exploration, not a verdict. Nothing is measured until you choose a target.
How directions surface
Illustrative example — not your resultStarting point
Your Career Profile
Your strongest interest areas — the only input to direction generation.
Strongest interest area
UK occupations grouped under the interest area you ranked highest.
Second interest area
Further occupations where your next-strongest interest points.
Third interest area
More directions to investigate — nothing here is compared with your record yet.

One moment
UK job titles are grouped by interest area and by how much preparation the work usually needs, using UK and European occupational language. The library does not describe the work itself, state pay or demand, or say who would be good at a role — so neither do we. Whether a direction is realistic for you is a question for your evidence, not your interests.
The sequence
Interests spark. Evidence tests.
Direction generation and evidence measurement are two separate steps — on purpose. This is the whole mechanism.
- 01Interest
What appeals to you
Sixty answers, added up within six areas. Self-insight only.
- 02Direction
Where it points
Real UK occupations grouped under your strongest interest areas.
- 03Evidence
What you can support
Your recorded scope, scale and outcomes, measured against that role.

Derived from the single gap that matters most right now.
What CareerPathIQ brings together
Two inputs spark a direction. Your record tests it afterwards.
Discovery does not read your work history, skills or qualifications to generate directions. Those come in after you choose a target — that separation is what keeps exploration honest.
What sparks a direction
Your Career Profile
Your strongest interest areas, from the career interests assessment you completed.
UK occupation library
UK job titles grouped under those interest areas — real titles, never invented occupations.
This is the complete input set for the directions Discovery shows today.
What a chosen target is measured against
Roles & responsibilities
The jobs you have actually done, and what you owned in them.
Transferable skills
Skills that carry across roles and sectors, recorded once and reused.
Qualifications & credentials
What you hold, recorded accurately — never inflated.
Scope, scale & evidence
Team sizes, budgets and outcomes — the strength of what is recorded.
Your Career Record is used here — once a direction becomes a target, Gap Analysis compares this evidence with what the role asks for.
What exploring can reveal
Three ways a direction can read — once evidence is compared.
Discovery itself lists interest-led directions; it does not classify them. These kinds emerge after you set a target and Gap Analysis measures your record against it.
Natural extensions
Close to what you already do
When you set a direction as a target, Gap Analysis may show most of what it asks for is already evidenced in your record — a step up or sideways in familiar territory.
Transferable moves
Your evidence, somewhere new
Or the comparison may show your skills, scope and sector experience carrying into a different role or industry — the same evidence, a new setting.
New directions
Sparked by your interests
Or it may confirm the evidence is thin where your interests point — and show exactly how thin, so development effort goes where it genuinely matters.
The wider journey, illustrated
What happens after a direction is chosen.
A target is set, and Gap Analysis compares the record with what the role asks for. This example shows that measurement stage — it is not a Discovery result.
Example: one target, measured
Illustrative example — not your resultStarting point
A chosen target
Example record: care home deputy manager · 6 years · team of 14
Evidenced in the record
Operations Manager
Why it surfaced: Recorded team leadership, rota ownership and quality checks connect directly.
Investigate: Budget ownership at the scale this role usually asks for.
Evidence carries across
Service Delivery Lead
Why it surfaced: Stakeholder handling and process evidence transfer into a neighbouring sector.
Investigate: Sector terminology and the compliance basics that differ.
Evidence is thin
Project Coordinator
Why it surfaced: An interest-led direction the member chose to test against their record.
Investigate: Gap Analysis shows exactly which requirements lack evidence.
Example only. Discovery lists interest-led directions from your Career Profile; the comparison above is what Gap Analysis produces once you choose a target. Your own results are built from your record alone — never from a template.
The boundary
Discovery explores. It never decides.
“The AI improves the language — never the facts.”
Exploration, not a verdict
No direction is ever said to suit you, and nothing here is a hiring prediction.
Reasons always shown
Every direction carries the interest signal that connects it to you.
No invented facts
Nothing is added to your record to make a direction look closer than it is.
Profiling stays private
Your Career Profile is private self-insight, saved to your account for you alone — never employer or recruiter screening.
Directions come from your Career Profile and published occupation listings only. Your Career Record is never read to generate, rank or classify them.
