Career Reality Check
A small window into real work
Choose a workplace. Try two different roles, one thoughtful step at a time.
Career Reality Check lets you try a piece of real work before you choose a career. There are 16 fictional workplaces, such as the stationery shop books, the civic case desk and the learning circle, and each has two roles. A role is a short set of levels with decisions, puzzles and a private reflection, and it links to the careers it connects to. It is free and works in English and Hindi.
