CAREER PATH FINDER HOW TO
By enabling employees to create and export a learning and development plan, it helps inform conversations to identify capability gaps, how to address them, and any upskilling needed for career progression. A long-list of careers with varying levels of interest to you, chosen from over 70 viable careers across business, technology, art, media. The tool also supports managers to have effective performance discussions with staff. Where employees choose to make their profiles searchable, HR professionals with the required access can identify talent internally and externally to build taskforces and project teams requiring specific data and digital skills. This can assist workforce planning and identify organisational training needs. Through anonymised data from user profiles, HR professionals can access organisational digital skills profiles to identify gaps.

This also helps identify any gaps and upskilling required to progress their career in the APS. By creating a user profile to capture their data and digital skills, employees can find roles that match their skills and interest. It can also help employees navigate and plan their careers in data and digital in the APS, or to better understand how to transition to one. This helps HR professionals to support the design and creation of position descriptions and job advertisements and use relevant language to attract and recruit appropriately skilled candidates for data and digital roles. Based on the internationally recognised Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) and Data Capability Framework (DCF), it builds understanding of data and digital roles and the skills they require. The APS Career Pathfinder run by the APS Digital Profession helps HR professionals position their agency’s workforce for the future. In the context of national and global data and digital skills shortages, agencies must also look to improve the data and digital skills of their broader workforce.

There is a growing demand for data and digital skills in the Australian Public Service (APS). Article submitted by Australian Public Service Commission.
