Phase 1: The Lock-Step Journey
Most career exploration tools fail because they offer too much choice too early. SkillsPassport solves this with Lock-Step Progression. Learners cannot jump to "Job Hunting" without first understanding their "Cognitive Fit".
Step 1: Watch & Learn
Engage with curated, high-definition career videos featuring real South African professionals.
Step 2: Validate Knowledge
Complete knowledge checks to ensure you understand the "Day in the Life" of that career.
Phase 2: The Career Sorting Engine
Our sorting engine uses a Multi-Factor Algorithm to rank career fields based on:
- Cognitive Alignment: Does your Reasoning score match the job's demands?
- Interest Density: How many times have you "Saved" or "Liked" related fields?
- Future-Proof Score: Is this job high-risk or high-opportunity in the AI era?
Phase 3: Gamification & Rewards
We treat career exploration like a skill tree in an RPG. Learners earn XP and Badges as they progress through the World of Work.

NQF Badges

Journey Streaks

Phase 4: The Outcome
By the end of the World of Work journey, every learner receives a Personalised Discovery Map that answers the three most important questions for a Grade 9 learner:
- What am I good at? (Cognitive potential)
- Where do I fit? (Career clusters)
- How do I get there? (Subject choice roadmap)
