A First-Time User's Guide to Job Corridor

Step-by-step guidance on how to build and interpret your first career transition using Job Corridor.

Step 1 - Select the type of transition

Job Corridor can be used for two types of transitions:

Assess Career Pathways
  • you know the job that you want to transition workers from and would like recommendations for best jobs that these workers can transition into.
  • most commonly be used to transition workers away from roles that are likely to be automated in the short-medium or for general proactive career changers. 
Fill Future Jobs
  • you know the job that you want to transition workers towards and would like recommendations for the most closely matched jobs that workers can transition from.
  • most commonly used to proactively fill jobs that you know your organisation will need in the future by upskilling internal workers rather than going to the external labour market.

Select which transition type you would like to use by clicking either Assess Career Pathways or Fill Future Jobs

Step 2 - Select the reference job

The first-selected or reference job will be different depending on which transition you are using. Regardless of which transitions you are using, the reference job will always be the left panel.

  • Assess Career Pathways - select the current job first i.e. the job that a worker currently holds.
  • Fill Future Jobs - select the target job first i.e. the job you want a worker to fill in the future.

Step 2a - Assess Career Pathways

  • Click in the search bar (A) to show a full, scrollable list of all the jobs that currently exist in your organisation, sorted from jobs with the most full time equivalent roles (FTEs) to the fewest. 
  • To find the job you want, type it into the search bar and click on it, when it appears in the list of "Current jobs" below the search bar (A).
  • The number of FTEs in each job is shown by default but you can click "%" (B) to show the % of those FTEs that are projected to be automated. Click "FTE" (B) to show the exact number of FTEs again.

The second job you select will be different depending on which transition you are using. Regardless of which transitions you are using, the second-selected job will always be the right panel.

Step 4 - Navigate the Transition Analysis

The Transition Analysis shows you a summary of the proficiency gaps in job attributes between the two jobs that you selected (B).
