Your career is more than a CV. It is a living pathway.

A personal development record designed to connect learning, experience, competence, CPD and future goals throughout a person’s working life.

The concept

Make progress visible—and make every achievement count.

It can connect formal qualifications, occupational learning, workplace experience, Recognition of Prior Learning, CPD, professional designations, mentorship and leadership development.
