What Your Aspiration Statement Might Look Like
Here’s what an Aspiration Statement can look like. Yours will be unique, written in your own words with Carly’s guidance.
I’m Alex and I’m at my best when I’m designing and telling stories. I want to build a career in digital media, starting with a graphic-design apprenticeship in the next year.
Creative pathwayI’m Sam and I’m drawn to using technology to solve real problems. I enjoy coding and problem-solving, so my next step is a software developer role where I can learn through hands-on projects.
Technical pathwayI’m Maya and I care about helping people feel supported. I’ve found a spark in community work, and I’m exploring youth-work apprenticeships to turn that passion into a career.
Social impact pathway👉 Each statement is practical, personal, and ready to use in applications, interviews, or even just to give you confidence when someone asks: “So, what do you want to do?”

FAQ
Do I need to know what career I want before I start?
No. The Pathfinder is designed to help you uncover and clarify your direction, even if you’re starting from scratch or feel completely stuck.
How long does it take to complete?
You can go from stuck to clear direction in under an hour – or take it at your own pace. It’s completely self-paced, with a full month of access to complete the journey.
Is this just for school leavers or uni students?
No. It’s for anyone aged 16–29, whether you’re in school, at uni, in a job, unemployed, or doing something else entirely.
What exactly do I get at the end?
A clear aspiration statement, SMART goals, a downloadable certificate, and the confidence to talk about your direction in CVs, interviews, or conversations.
Can I use this more than once?
Yes. You get full access for 4 weeks when you join with 1 additional retake. After that, you’ll receive a 60% discount code if you’d like to retake or revisit the Pathfinder again in future.
Do I get any help, or is it all self-guided?
You’ll be supported by Carly, your AI Careers Adviser. She helps you reflect, explore, and shape your aspiration without judgment.
Does Carly use external AI or share my data?
Absolutely not. Our Adviser is not connected to any external AI provider, and no data is ever shared or used to train any algorithms. It’s fully contained within our own system and used only to support your experience.
