Set goals, map the milestones to your target role, and track progress as you go.

The short answer

What is the career growth planner?

The career growth planner is a free tool that turns your target role into a plan: the goals you are working toward, the milestones between here and there, the skills and learning each one needs, and a way to track progress. It takes what your assessments told you and turns it into a schedule instead of a verdict.

Most career advice stops at the diagnosis. You find out which role suits you, or which skills you are missing, and then nothing happens for six months. The planner exists to close that gap — it is the difference between knowing where you are going and having dates against it.

Four steps

How it works

Target in, plan out — and it stays with you rather than expiring.

Step 01

Set your target

The role or level you are working toward.

Step 02

Map the milestones

The checkpoints between now and there, in order.

Step 03

Add skills and learning

What each milestone actually requires you to learn.

Step 04

Track your progress

Your plan lives in your Skills Wallet and updates as you go.

The plan is not fixed. Targets change, and the planner is built to be revised rather than abandoned.

Track progress in your Skills Wallet

Your plan and your verified skills sit in the same place, so progress is visible rather than remembered — and the profile employers see keeps pace with the work you are putting in.

The audience

Who it is for

Anyone with a destination and the next six to twenty-four months to fill.

  • Starting out

    You know which role you are aiming at and want the route written down.

  • Mid-career

    You are specialising, and want the move to be deliberate rather than opportunistic.

  • Senior

    You are choosing between the technical and leadership tracks and want to test both.

It is free, it is yours, and nothing about it expires if you put it down for a month.
