CareerMile starts with your situation rather than assuming everyone has the same goal, confidence or work history.
Changing direction
Work out what should come with you, what needs to change and which opportunities deserve your time.
Moving forward
Capture evidence, build confidence, prepare for greater responsibility and make progression conversations more useful.

The CareerMile principle
Progress does not require having your whole career figured out. It begins with one useful next step.
CareerMile will not promise a job or promotion. It is designed to help you make clearer decisions, communicate your value and take action with better evidence.
Questions
Before you apply
Who can take part?
We are looking for adults seeking a first job, returning to work, changing careers, developing in a current role or considering promotion.
How much time will it take?
Allow around 20–30 minutes for the first session, then use it naturally during the following seven days. The final feedback should take approximately ten minutes.
Do I need to share private career information?
No. Use general or anonymised examples wherever you prefer. Do not enter information that you would be uncomfortable storing on your own device.
Is CareerMile already a finished app?
No. This pilot uses an interactive prototype and digital workbook. Your feedback will help determine what should become part of the future subscription service.
What happens to my email address?
We use it to administer the pilot and respond to you. We will not add you to marketing emails unless you separately choose to receive them.
