Small Challenge
Small, low-pressure activities make room for curiosity and everyday discoveries.
My Next Step
Helping people turn everyday experience into confidence for work, education or training.
Explore walkthrough
From everyday experience to a next step.
Explore the parts of My Next Step that help people discover, prepare and move forward.
Story & Profile
A conversation helps people recognise what they did and keep examples they can use again.
Opportunity & Match
Saved experiences help a person explore a role’s requirements and find relevant examples.
Guided applications
Relevant examples and guidance help a person prepare a CV, letter or application in their own words.
Practice with Sam
Interview and experience-sharing practice gives people a chance to rehearse and reflect.
Human support
A person can ask for help and choose the information a support worker can see.
Why I built it
A person can have plenty of experience and still feel they have nothing useful to say about themselves. Helping at an event, caring for someone or solving an everyday problem may not feel like experience worth mentioning.
I built My Next Step to help people recognise those moments, explain their contribution and use what they discover. The aim is confidence grounded in something real, with the person deciding what comes next.
A starting point that fits the person
Some people begin with a small activity. Others have a story to tell, a CV to draw on or an opportunity they want to explore. The product brings those starting points together without making everyone follow the same path.
Saved experiences and a Personal Profile can support later applications and practice. Compact layouts make it possible to begin with the phone already in someone’s hand.
Sam helps people think and practise
Sam, the AI guide, helps people explore what happened, understand an application question and review their own writing. The person supplies the facts and decides which suggestions fit.
Practice offers a chance to explain an experience aloud or prepare for an interview. Feedback focuses on clarity and specific examples, giving the person something useful to try again.
Making the next attempt easier
Practice feedback helps a person reflect on what they said, choose a useful change and try again.
Human support, shared by choice
A person can ask a support worker for help and choose the relevant opportunity, application or guidance to share. The worker receives context for that request while other personal stories stay private.
I want asking for help to feel possible without asking someone to open every part of their life. The choice of what to share belongs to them.
What I am learning
I keep coming back to the modest example someone can explain. Helping them see what they actually did may matter more than making the answer sound impressive.
That principle runs through the work: keep the person’s facts intact, support their own writing and make sharing a deliberate choice. Useful AI support depends on those decisions as much as the quality of its answers.
About the examples
The interactive walkthrough uses fictional examples and illustrative screen layouts to explain the experience.
