| What is Career Mapper Career Mapper is a unique software based tool designed for individuals involved in providing advice and guidance to people considering their career, lifestyle and/or future education options. Career Mapper supports an individual in making decisions about their preferred career path and helps them to plan what they need to do to achieve their goals. Back to Top Use & Applications The expert report generated through Career Mapper provides accessible and useful information both for the candidate and the guidance professional. The report supports the candidate (and advisor) through the initial steps of career planning using the Career Mapper assessment as the starting point. It uses two processes to do this: Firstly, Creating an Employability Profile – the guide takes the candidate through the process of putting together their profile which will then enable them to look at suitable career and lifestyle options. Secondly, RACPAC - which is a structured approach to examining options, gathering information and making decisions about career options. Both are described fully in the Life Planning Guide (supplied with the candidate report). Back to Top Career Mapper Development Career Mapper has been developed with input from experienced Careers Advisors at Careerdecisions Ltd and is based on a high quality occupational psychometric measure Prevue ICES.
