We grouped all the jobs on the web service into one of six broad pathway groupings based on common high level activities and skills.\u00a0 We then gave individuals the ability to browse job profiles, and further refine search results, by one of these six pathways.<\/p>\n<p>The six pathway verbs and their descriptors are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Care<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <em>educating and caring

things<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These simple groupings provide young people with a new way of exploring jobs that challenge traditional industry stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the \u2018Create\u2019 pathway shows customers that jobs that involve creative activities can exist in a range of industry areas, such as engineering or information and computing technology.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great way of showing the range of jobs that could be of interest, broadening horizons and allowing exploration of a wider range of opportunities.\u00a0 You\u2019ll find the new filters within the My Career Options landing page of My World of Work and within the subject choices tool.<\/p>\n<p>Similar thinking also sits behind our work on qualification routes.\u00a0 We know that young people in schools, particularly those focusing on passing exams, can find it difficult to understand how the subjects they are studying relate to future careers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, some young people, parents, carers and employers can be unfamiliar with the current range of available qualifications, and how all of them relate to the world of work.\u00a0 By introducing new qualifications functionality, we hope to help increase that understanding of the relationship between learning in the classroom and the world of work, as well as highlighting the range of learning opportunities available.<\/p>\n<p>The functionality is above the \u2018Getting in\u2019 section of 150 job profiles on My World of Work, allowing users to create personalised qualification routes.<\/p>\n<p>Users can view and select from different types of qualifications, including new work based learning options such as Foundation Apprenticeships, in order to build up multiple routes for one or more careers.\u00a0 They will also be able to view detailed information about the qualifications that are shown, such as length of study, and select links to related course and apprenticeship information.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the tool, users can view and print off the routes they\u2019ve created which they can then compare or discuss with their SDS careers adviser, parent, carer or teacher.\u00a0\u00a0 If signed in, customers can also save their qualification pathway to the book marks section of their My World of Work account.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re continuing to add qualification routes to job profiles, all of which will have the tool by the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The six new pathways on <\/strong><a
