Choosing a technical career – matching skills and interests to jobs

Design & TechnologyCareers in TechnologyAges 14–15

A six-competency radar chart (practical/technical skill, IT skill, math and logical thinking, design skill, communication, and organisation and management) is pre-filled according to the competency group and interest the student selects; the student can then drag each point on the chart to re-rate themselves. Every time a point is dragged, the list of technical careers is re-ranked by match; clicking a career shows its competency requirements, the training level needed, and the education pathway from lower secondary school through to employment.
