Skills-to-Career Mapping Guide

Skills-to-career mapping helps people understand how capabilities can connect to possible career directions.

The process begins with the skill rather than the job title.

01

Identify and Deconstruct the Skill

Take a skill like "Research". Break it down: Do you gather information, evaluate evidence, investigate questions, or communicate findings?

02

Explore Career Areas

Research connects to consulting, journalism, policy, academia, intelligence, product development, and strategy. The skill provides a starting point for exploration.

03

Check Other Factors

Filter these options through your natural gifts, values, interests, and preferred work environment.

04

Identify the Gap

Ask: "What would I need to develop to become genuinely capable in this career?" This reveals required qualifications, experience, and evidence.
