IntroductionCareer describes our journey through life, learning and work. We need actively todevelop our careers to make the best of them. This process of career developmenttakes skill as well as knowledge and the right attitude. Individuals need to work oncareer development skills throughout their lives.The CDI Career Development Framework hasbeen developed for use in England. Alternativedocuments and equivalent frameworks existin the other UK nations. However, the new CDIframework is available as an additional source ofreference for any practitioners to use throughoutthe UK and beyond.This document introduces the CDI’s CareerDevelopment Framework to careersprofessionals, educators and other professionalswho work supporting people to develop theircareers. Its main purpose is to clarify the skills,knowledge and attitudes that individualsneed to have a positive career and to providea framework for planning support for careerdevelopment.A ‘positive career’ will mean something differentto different people, but it will typically includebeing happy with the way you spend yourtime, being able to make a contribution to yourcommunity and being able to have a decentstandard of living.Career development skills are the learningoutcomes that career development programmesand interventions should be aiming to bringabout. They need to be developed alongsideacademic and vocational skills and knowledgeand employability skills (the skills that you needfor work and employment).“ We welcome the CDI’s Career Development Framework.The Framework recognises the importance of high-quality,structured careers programmes and also acknowledges thevalue of the skills, knowledge and attitudes that individualsneed to have a positive career. The Framework sets out whatknowledge, skills and capabilities career learning is seeking tofoster and provides a useful resource that schools and collegescan use in the design and delivery of their career developmentprogrammes.”Department for Education

1 The Career Development FrameworkThe Career Development Institute has undertaken extensive research and consultedwith career development experts and practitioners to identify the six careerdevelopment skills that people need to have positive careers. (Figure 1)These six skills are the learning areas that careerdevelopment programmes and interventionsshould focus on. When you are supportingsomeone with their career you shouldask yourself, how can I help them to growthroughout life, explore possibilities, managecareer, create opportunities, balance life andwork and see the big picture. Each careerdevelopment activity might develop a differentskill, but ultimately individuals need to engagewith all of the career development learningareas.A full description of the research thatunderpins the CDI Career DevelopmentFramework, along with other resources tosupport the Framework is available on the CDIwebsite at https://www.thecdi.net/CareersFramework.Skills Builder Partnership welcomes“ Thethe new CDI Framework as a clear, tangibleway to ensure that students are building thecareer management skills that they need aspart of a broad and balanced curriculum. ”Tom Ravenscroft (CEO),Skills Builder Partnership4

2 The purpose of the FrameworkWhen we work with people to develop their career, we are helping them to takecontrol of their lives. Sometimes we can achieve this by supporting them toovercome a barrier and make a transition, but ideally, we are trying to do more thanhelp them to manage a crisis.Career development interventions shouldsupport people to learn about how careerswork, what strategies are most effective andhow to deal with challenges. This process ofcareer development learning results in learnersacquiring the collection of skills, knowledge andattitudes that are described in the CDI CareerDevelopment Framework. The ultimate aim is toequip people to progress successfully throughlearning and work, and to have a rewardingcareer.3 Learning career development skillsThe process of learning about career and acquiring career development skills isabout more than presenting people with a list of skills. Career development skillshave to be actively learnt, rather than just being ticked off a list. The frameworkcan be helpful in supporting learners to understand that career is multifaceted andcomplex and to recognise what they need to know and be able to do to. Career is notjust a process of choosing a job early in life, rather it is a process of ongoing learningand development that takes place throughout life.We can view career development learning asa spiral where learners begin by encounteringthe idea of career and recognising that they caninfluence how their career develops. We cansupport them to build their career developmentskills by providing them with information,knowledge and experiences, encouraging themto reflect on this and build a more profoundunderstanding of their context and their career.6We then encourage them to develop new plansand strategies informed by their career learningand put these into practice.The career development learning spiralcontinues throughout people’s lives. As we learnmore and move into new settings we need tokeep working on our career development skills.Learners will develop each of the six careerdevelopment skills (grow throughout life,explore possibilities, manage career, createopportunities, balance life and work and seethe big picture) at a different pace. Each skill willrequire its own spiral of career developmentlearning. But, of course the six skills are alsolinked and so learning in one area will alsosupport learning in another area.

4 How can I use the Framework?The CDI Career Development Framework can be used to support careerdevelopment work in a variety of contexts.In career counselling and personalguidanceCareer counselling and personal guidanceinterviews are an important resource forindividuals in their career development. Theyoffer people an opportunity to discuss whatis important to them, consider how they canovercome obstacles and create strategies fordeveloping their career.In career counselling interviews clients are likelyto discuss the six career development skillsdescribed in the Framework. Career counsellorscan use the Framework to help to identify areasfor development and help clients to reflect onwhat they could do to move forwards.In employmentBy individualsThe Framework is available to individuals tohelp them to develop their own careers. Itprovides a simple answer to the question ‘whatshould I do to develop my career?’.Career development practitioners can helpindividuals by introducing them to theFramework and supporting them to reflect ontheir strengths and weaknesses in relation to it.In the education systemThe Framework provides a basis for a careereducation curriculum as it describes thecareer development learning areas that sucha curriculum should cover and the outcomesthat should be observable at the end of theprogramme.The components set out in Section 5 break thecareer development learning areas down intomore detailed learning outcomes that can beused for developing lessons and activities. Theycan also be used to audit existing curricula (e.g.in academic subjects or vocational learning)to identify where career development skillsare already being developed, or could bedeveloped.8Many companies provide plannedprogrammes of learning and developmentfor their employees. The frameworks forthese programmes often describe the skillsthat individuals need to progress within theorganisation. The ability of employees todevelop their own careers should be recognisedas an important part of what makes for a highperforming employee.Organisations can use the CDI CareerDevelopment Framework to recognise theimportance of career development skills as partof their approach to training and development.In employability and career transitionprogrammesAdults who are unemployed, or in the processof making a career transition, need to revisitand develop their career development skills.The Framework can be used to help designemployability and career transition programmesusing the detailed career development learningoutcomes set out in Section 5.

5 Detailed career development learningoutcomesIn order to work on the six career development skills it is important to break themdown further. This section sets out a series of components for each of the skillsthat can be used to develop more detailed career development learning outcomes.Explore possibilitiesPeople need to explore the full range ofpossibilities open to them and learn aboutrecruitment processes and the culture of differentworkplaces. Careers practitioners should addressthis by engaging learners in: Thinking about what jobs and roles to pursue F inding and making use of labour marketinformation and information about theeducation system U nderstanding learning pathways and how toaccess and succeed in them R ecognising the relationship betweenlearning, qualifications and workGrow throughout lifePeople need to grow throughout life bylearning and reflecting on themselves,their background, and their strengths. Careerspractitioners should address this by engaginglearners in: Making use of help, support and feedback B uilding awareness about workplaces,workplace culture and expectations A nalysing and preparing for recruitment andselection processes“The CDI framework will provide a Recognising how learning, skills andexperience contribute to careeruseful toolkit to connect all elementsof career learning together.” Reflecting on and recording achievements,experiences and learningSiobhan Neary (Head of the International Centre forGuidance Studies), University of Derby Committing to lifelong learning anddevelopment Challenging themselves and trying new things Considering the impact of heritage, identityand values9

Balance life and workPeople need to balance their life as aworker and/or entrepreneur with theirwellbeing, other interests and their involvementwith their family and community. Careerspractitioners should address this by engaginglearners in: Considering work-life balance Attending to physical and mental wellbeing Planning and managing personal finances Considering how to be involved in family andcommunity Understanding different life stages and liferolesManage careerPeople need to manage their careeractively, make the most of opportunities andlearn from setbacks. Careers practitioners shouldaddress this by engaging learners in: Being aware of rights and responsibilities inthe workplace and in society Dealing with prejudice, stereotypes anddiscrimination Understanding the concept of careerSee the big picture Being confident and optimistic Assessing risk and reward and makingdecisionsPeople need to see the big picture bypaying attention to how the economy,politics and society connect with their own life andcareer.

TheCDI framework gives a clear,structured approach to help youdevelop your career.”Stephen Isherwood (CEO), Institute of StudentEmployers10

6 Assessing and evaluating careerdevelopment learningClarifying the learning outcomes of career development programmes helps us tobe more certain about the impact of these programmes. If we know what outcomeswe want to result from a career development programme it is easier to see whetherthese outcomes have been achieved.This can be useful in developing forms ofassessment as part of the delivery of careerdevelopment interventions and programmes.You can use the detailed career developmentlearning outcomes set out in section 5 todevelop an assessment framework for yourprogramme. You will need to decide whatyou want a learner to be able to demonstratethat they know or can do at the end of theprogramme and think about how you are goingto measure this. Building assessment into yourcareer development programme can clarifythe aims of your programme, motivate yourlearners, help individuals to judge their progressand provide insights on how effective yourprogramme is.The identification of clearly acknowledgedlearning outcomes can also provide a basisfor evaluating your career developmentprogramme. By adopting the CDI CareerDevelopment Framework you are clarifyingwhat you are trying to achieve through yourprogramme. These outcomes can then beused as the basis for an evaluation of theprogramme’s effectiveness.“ I am impressed by the new CDIframework as it better reflectsthe complexities of the modernworld and the role that careerplays within it.”Matt Joyce (Regional Lead: North EastAmbition), North East LEP11
