About
We know that the careers sector is full of amazing people doing great work who are supported by professional and membership bodies like The CDI and AGCAS. But the problem is, they’ve all got too big a remit to just focus on attracting new talent into the sector and meanwhile, nobody knows about us or what we do. Which is where we come in. Stats from the CDI’s big listen survey and Careers England report:
And yet…ROI on careers guidance for every £1 spent, average £2.50 for young people and £3.20 for unemployed adults. So the sector makes financial as well as moral sense.
Who are we to help?
We know we are at crisis point and The Talent Cycle’s Founder, Caroline Green RCDP, has worked in both Careers and L&D/Talent Management for nearly two decades.
The purpose of the site is to signpost would-be careers professionals to the vital information they need in a user-friendly way and also create a hub for current careers professionals to work out what next, from celebrating and learning from others to exploring options around the sector, to creating a legacy.
I couldn’t just sit back and watch the sector crumble. I believe I have the skills and experience, along with the right attitude of working collaboratively with others, to help solve the talent crisis and help individuals who are keen to get into careers work, to take their first steps, alongside supporting seasoned professionals move around the sector and build a community.
Our Vision

Our Mission
Developing the cycle of talent for the careers sector, making it robust with a strong talent pipeline.

What are our objectives?
Objective 1
Provide an easy access platform to showcase the careers sector, for anyone considering moving into, or around it. This platform will act as a feeder signposting useful information which already exists, and fills in the gaps where it doesn’t, in an easy and accessible way.
Objective 2
To boost morale and engagement by providing a regular #careersfest unlike any other event, aimed at celebrating the great work happening in the sector, encouraging CDPs to stay within it and benefit from the sense of community. The festival will also provide interesting content to help inspire CDPs to be enthusiastic and innovative in their work and over time be one of the many benefits to working in the sector for new recruits into it.
Objective 3
To work with partners on innovative and engaging activities which build a new talent pipeline for the sector.
