The seven Cs of digital career literacy
The career management skills we need for the wired world

Three changes
The internet offers new opportunities to give and receive career support.
The internet changes the context within which career is enacted.
This new context requires new skills for effective career management.
(Hooley, 2012)
Why career management skills?
Career management skills (CMS) describe the skills, attributes and abilities that individuals need to pursue their careers.
They can be used to refocus practice towards a learning focused model of career development.
There are various pre-existing models of career management skills (most notably the Blueprint models).
(Hooley et al., 2013)

Why a digital CMS framework
The internet changes the context for career. Careers practitioners are frequently unclear as to how this
changed context should change what they do. The internet increases the capability of individuals to self-
serve and seek career support. None of the existing CMS frameworks fully attend to the
context of the internet.
Most of all – because individuals are seeking help with these issues and getting them wrong.

In conclusion
Managing a career requires some skills, attributes and knowledge.
Some of this is the same online as it was before the internet existed (but reframed by the new environment).
Some of it is almost entirely new. The 7 Cs provide a framework that career professionals
can use to work with clients.
