We’re looking for innovative approaches to visualising digital career pathways. 
We’ve listed the opportunity on the Digital Marketplace until 3 April 2020
(https://marketplace.service.gov.au/2/digital-marketplace/opportunities/6475)
. If you think you
might have the interest, capability, and capacity to help, we would love to hear your ideas. To
submit a response through the Digital Marketplace you need to register as a seller
(https://marketplace1.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115011258607-Become-a-seller)
. There
is time for you to register and be approved before the closing date if you act quickly.

Career paths for digital roles
We’re looking for a better and more engaging way for people to navigate their career path
options in the Australian Public Service. We currently have around 150 typical digital roles in
our Digital Career Pathways dataset (https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/aps-digital-career-
pathways).

People exploring career options may find many roles that match their skills to various degrees.
We want people to easily see the similarities and differences between their capability and the
roles that interest them.

Value add — learning and mobility
We want people to use the tool to identify their capability gaps. From there they can develop a
learning plan to fill those gaps. Then we can help people start by linking learning resources to
each capability in the roles.
An example of a learning resource is secondment, though these can sometimes be hard to
find. Since we have already captured an individual’s capabilities, a simple extension would be
to match those capabilities to those government agencies require. From there, we can make a
connection between a person, their capabilities and a career opportunity.
We don’t expect your solution to link to all the relevant learning resources at first — but it does
need to have that capability. This is an exciting and innovative approach to career pathways in
the APS, so that government is fully prepared and equipped for a digital future.
