Frequently Asked Questions

MyCareerPath.ie is an online career and learning development service designed to help individuals and organisations identify and meet their learning needs and career goals. It offers bespoke career and learning programmes (“Pathways”) which cater both to employees looking to advance in their careers and anyone else seeking to upskill or re-skill through higher education.

The platform has been developed by the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and combines AI technology, online learning resources and one-to-one mentoring with experienced Career and Learning Pathways Advisors to support individuals on their career and learning journeys.

MyCareerPath.ie also offers career and learning guidance for organisations and businesses to help them face the training and development challenges of the 21st century. We work with businesses and organisations to identify and address skills and learning gaps within the workforce.

The programme consists of an online eLearning resource library combined with a series of one-to-one meetings with a professional Career and Learning Pathways Advisor (CLPA).

Participants start their journey by booking a 30-minute online consultation with a CLPA, after which they gain access to a dedicated library of online tools and resources specifically designed to help them to identify and assess their motivations, interests, abilities and transferable skills. 

Over the course of the programme (which typically lasts 6 weeks), the participant will develop their self-awareness, identify key areas for self-development and will be guided by their CLPA through the process of developing their career and learning toolkit and development plan. 

At the end of the process, the participant will have reflected on their career goals, understood their skills and learning gaps and will have set out the next steps to achieve their career and learning goals.
