Catapult Your Career

Catapult Your Career is a digital-first, step-by-step career guidance intervention designed for young people aged 17–23. It helps them gain clarity, confidence, and direction in their career choices through a gamified journey based on modern psychology, neuroscience, and career development theory.

The journey consists of three main components:

• START: a self-assessment based on multiple intelligences to uncover the best-fit industries;
• CATAPULT: a follow-up assessment that suggests concrete professions where participants are likely to thrive;
• SUCCESS: a hands-on experience where users test a profession through a micro-project aligned with their learning style (e.g., Explorer, Creator, Leader).

Participants receive badges at each stage (Rising Star, Star, Supernova), building a portfolio that can be shared with future employers. The program integrates video learning, reflective tasks, career mapping, and success skill training (goal setting, problem-solving, resilience), making it both personal and practical.

The framework is flexible and inclusive, designed for use in both online and in-person settings. It can be delivered as a standalone self-directed tool or guided by facilitators in schools, NGOs, or youth centers. It is especially powerful for youth who feel lost, pressured, or underprepared to make career decisions and empowers them to act with purpose and confidence.
