Assess your skills before EOFY. And invest in what’s next.

Start with a skills assessment.

You can’t build a meaningful professional development plan without first understanding where you stand today.

That’s where ACS mySFIA comes in.

Powered by the globally recognised Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA), mySFIA helps you assess your current capabilities against real-world tech roles and identify the skills you need to progress. Whether you want to move into leadership, specialise in cybersecurity, strengthen your AI capability or prepare for a new role entirely, mySFIA provides the clarity to move forward with confidence.

The mySFIA platform allows you to:

• Benchmark your skills against current and future roles

• Identify capability gaps and growth opportunities

• Understand your level of professional responsibility

• Build targeted learning pathways aligned to your goals

• Create a clearer roadmap for promotion, mobility or specialisation

In a nutshell, mySFIA transforms professional development from guesswork into strategy.

Instead of asking, “What course should I do next?”, you begin asking smarter questions:

• What skills are becoming more valuable in FY27?

• Which capabilities will strengthen my career resilience?

• Where are my gaps compared to the role I want next?

• What should I prioritise before opportunities emerge

That shift matters because the workers who thrive over the next decade won’t simply react to change. They’ll prepare for it early.

EOFY is the ideal moment to act

The end of the financial year creates a rare window for reflection and planning.

Many organisations are reviewing workforce capability, setting budgets, approving professional development spending and planning transformation priorities for the year ahead. At the same time, tech professionals are reconsidering their own goals, performance and future direction.

That makes June the perfect moment to assess your skills and take action while there’s still time to leverage current budgets, professional development allowances and tax-deductible investment opportunities.

For ACS members, that could mean:

• Assessing your skills on mySFIA

• Growing your capabilities through targeted learning on ACS Skillsoft

• Applying for ACS Certification

• Undertaking professional development courses or events

• Building a clearer pathway toward leadership or specialist roles

In other words, EOFY isn’t just about closing accounts. It’s about opening opportunities.

Build momentum into FY27.

One of the biggest misconceptions about professional growth is that it requires dramatic reinvention.

In reality, career momentum is usually built through consistent, deliberate capability growth over time.

A skills assessment today can shape the learning decisions you make tomorrow. Those learning decisions can lead to stronger confidence, greater credibility and better career outcomes later in the year.

ACS Digital Pulse 2025 also found that businesses reducing digital skills gaps could help unlock a $25 billion productivity uplift for the Australian economy by 2035. The opportunity is enormous, but only for professionals prepared to evolve alongside technology.

That’s why ACS’s Skill Up message remains so important as EOFY approaches:

• Assess your skills

• Grow your capabilities

• Certify your achievements

The professionals who invest in themselves now will be the ones ready for what comes next.

Don’t wait for FY27 to start growing.

EOFY is your chance to take control before the new financial year begins.

Assess where you are. Identify where you want to go. Then build the capability to get there. 

Because the future won’t wait. And neither should your professional growth.
