      Your tree

      The tree only you are growing.

      Every step you tick and every role you save grows a branch here. It lives on this device only.

      Ask the tree

      Ask me anything. I will point.

      I am a signpost, not a mind. I match your words against the tree, answer common questions, name any job on it and tell you how far you have to go. Nothing you type is sent, stored or seen by anyone, and I am not AI.

      The idea behind the tree

      What are transferable skills?

      A transferable skill is something you can do that stays useful when everything around it changes. Change the job, the industry, even the technology, and it comes with you. It is the part of you that does not have to start again.
      The same skill, three different worlds
      Staying calm when things go wrong is one skill. Here is what it looks like in three jobs that have nothing else in common.
      In a care home
      A resident falls. You do not panic, you check them first, you get help and you keep them talking.
      In a kitchen
      Three orders land at once and something burns. You reset the order, tell the front quickly, and keep the pass moving.
      On a helpdesk
      A customer is shouting. You let them finish, you find the actual fault, and you tell them plainly what happens next.
      Same skill. Nobody had to learn it three times.
      The ones that travel furthest
      These are the skills that keep working across the whole tree.
      And the honest half: some things do not travel. A particular till system, one employer's paperwork, a machine only your old factory had. Those are worth having and they get you paid, but they stay behind when you move. That is why they are worth knowing about but never worth building a whole future on.
      Why this matters more now

      AI is taking tasks faster than it is taking jobs, and the tasks it takes first are the narrow, specific ones. What it struggles with is the human part: reading a room, being trusted, staying steady, working out what is really wrong. So the skills that travel between jobs are the same ones that survive the change. That is not a coincidence, and it is the whole idea behind this tree.

      No CV needed

      You have more skills than you think.

      You do not need a job history for this. Tick anything you have actually done, at home, at school, for friends, for family, anywhere. Then I will tell you what that means you can do, and give you the words to say it.

      Nothing here is sent anywhere. It stays on this device, like everything else in the tree.

      Human-Essential branch

      What you are ready for.

      This looks at one branch of the seven: the human work of care, health, teaching and youth. Tick what you have honestly done or can do. Then I will show you, for each of the twelve roles, how much of it you already carry and the very next skill to build.

      This runs on a real skills map, entirely on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and no percentage is a judgement of you.

      Human-Essential branch

      Care and health: a learning path

      This runs on the same skills map as the readiness screen, entirely on this device. Your progress is saved only here, and nothing is sent anywhere.

      Where do I fit?

      Paste your CV. It stays on this phone.

      Paste your CV, or just a few lines about what you do. Nothing you paste is sent, stored or seen by anyone. It is matched against the tree right here on your own device, and it is gone the moment you clear it.

      Green work

      Jobs that help the planet.

      Green work is not one branch of the tree. It is new growth right across it. These jobs help the UK cut carbon, restore nature and waste less. Every one has its steps in this app.
      Plenty of other jobs can be done greener too. Whatever branch you grow along, the green habits travel with you.

      About this tree

      Honest by design.

      Career and Beyond is a free app from QuantumColleagues, a Community Interest Company. We sell AI services to businesses, and that revenue pays for free training and free tools like this one. Nobody pays to be listed here and nothing here is an advert.
      Nothing personal is captured
      No accounts, no email, no cookies. Everything you tick or save stays in your browser on your own device. We count visits anonymously with GoatCounter, an open source counter: no cookies, nothing personal, just how many people came and which screens they saw. We could not see it even if we wanted to. From the My Tree screen you can save your tree to a small file and load it on another device. The file stays in your hands and never touches a server.
      Where the pay figures come from
      Pay figures are official UK medians from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (2022 estimates), served by the government funded LMI for All service and matched to the closest official job group, which is named on each bar. Checked July 2026. They are a guide, not a promise: pay varies by place, hours and experience.
      How we judge what AI changes
      Our notes on how AI is changing each job are editorial, written in plain sight. They rest on published research into which everyday tasks AI now drafts, summarises and schedules, including the O*NET task database and the Anthropic Economic Index, and on our own daily work building AI systems for businesses. Where we get one wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
      The tree today
      Thirteen starting points. Seven work branches holding 29 ways to work and 87 real jobs, each with its own steps, honest time and cost notes, and what AI does next to it. Seven branches of life beyond work with 23 ways in. 681 steps in all. Counted, not rounded. A green leaf marks the jobs that help the shift to net zero and nature recovery.
      The organisations we point to
      We signpost organisations because they are good at what they do. They have not endorsed us, we are not affiliated with them, and no money changes hands in either direction.
