Thinking about the next step in your career, but not sure what to expect?
We’re here to support and guide you. 

Our newly-introduced Career Pathways, created with CIPD members in mind, give you a clear, structured route into key roles within the profession. You’ll get easy access to curated resources, practical insights, and essential knowledge - all in one place - so you can perform effectively and take the next step when you’re ready.

Our first two pathways support members who want to develop the skills and understanding needed to work as an HR Business Partner or a Learning Advisor.

Each pathway has clear steps and curated resources to guide you. By completing a pathway, you’ll gain a better understanding of what’s involved in those roles and get you one step closer to your professional goals.  

What to expect:

  • Gain access to resources that give you the knowledge you need to deliver work as an HR Business Partner or a Learning Advisor.
  • Build the necessary knowledge and develop the required behaviours to get into one of those roles.
  • Put your learning into practice with relevant activities and interactive resources.
  • Gain invaluable career support, including feedback on your CV and interviews.
