How it works

From first visit to real progress.

Here is what taking part looks like, step by step, and how the programme is delivered.

Your route

Eight steps from curious to confident.

The order matters, but you can loop back whenever something new changes your thinking.

  1. Discover

    Find CPI through your school, campus, a friend or this website.

  2. Understand

    Read how the programme works and what it can and cannot do for you.

  3. Identify

    Choose the life stage that fits you best right now.

  4. Register

    Sign up for free. Under-18s need a parent or guardian to confirm.

  5. Participate

    Join sessions at your school, campus or a community venue, and use the online tools.

  6. Reflect

    Review your Discovery Profile with a coach and check what fits.

  7. Act

    Follow your Personal Career Roadmap: research, conversations, skills and experience.

  8. Progress

    Review at 2–4 weeks and around 90 days, then plan the next cycle.
