ACS relaunches mySFIA: A game-changer in skills assessment and career development
In today’s fast-evolving technology landscape, you often grapple with common challenges: How do I know I’m on the right career path? How can I get recognised for my skills and achievements? And how do I confidently articulate what I bring to the table? Addressing these concerns head-on, we’re excited to announce the relaunch of mySFIA, the new skills assessment and development tool powered by ACS.
Potential, realised
The relaunched mySFIA powered by ACS creates a clear roadmap for your career. It’ll help you gain recognition and align your skills with market demands. Built on SFIA 9, the latest skills benchmark from the internationally recognised SFIA Foundation, and designed to reflect the evolving needs of the digital and professional workforce, mySFIA delivers clarity, confidence and control over your career development.
Clear career pathways
Do you ever feel uncertain about what steps to take next in your career? In a tech sector driven by rapid changes and emerging technologies, finding the right path can feel overwhelming.
mySFIA helps you map your current capabilities and identify future growth areas—whether you’re just starting, mid-career or aiming for senior leadership roles. By comparing your skills with industry standards, mySFIA provides personalised recommendations to guide your next move and ensure you stay relevant in a competitive market.
Recognition of skills and achievements
If you struggle to gain formal recognition for your skills and expertise, you’re not alone. Many ACS members express frustration at the lack of recognition, especially for skills and expertise learned on the job or in non-traditional settings.
The relaunched mySFIA integrates with ACS SFIA Digital Badges, enabling you to record, validate and showcase your skills and achievements in alignment with the SFIA framework. This offers employers a quick, easy and independent view of your capabilities to reinforce your professional value across projects, teams and organisations.
Confidence to articulate skills
Have you ever found it a challenge to articulate your value in a job interview or performance review? In a pressure situation, it can be difficult to explain the full scope of your skills and impact, which can result in missed opportunities or an inability to negotiate roles and salaries that reflect your worth.
Armed with a personalised skills profile, you can instantly see your strengths and weaknesses and how you’re positioned against your current job role and industry standard. This is invaluable insight. You’ll gain the confidence to demonstrate your value clearly and effectively. mySFIA helps you translate technical achievements into language that resonates with decision-makers, boosting your chances of career progression and professional success.
It’s your potential. You should realise it.
In a rapidly changing digital world, having a clear career pathway and the confidence and ability to articulate your value is more important than ever. Using mySFIA, you can take charge of your career by gaining the tools and insights you need to grow, develop and succeed.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your skills, explore new career opportunities or seek recognition for the expertise you’ve built, mySFIA will guide you every step of the way.
