## What are career paths?

Career Paths give you a visual map of how roles are structured in your organization — where you currently sit and what growth opportunities exist. Access them at **My Development → Career Growth** (`/develop/career-growth`).

## How career paths are organized

Your organization's career paths are built from three levels:

| Level          | What it is                        | Example                       |
| -------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Department** | Broad organizational area         | Engineering, Sales, Marketing |
| **Family**     | Career ladder within a department | "Software Engineering" ladder |
| **Position**   | Specific role at a level          | "Senior Software Engineer"    |

Each position in a family represents a step in the career ladder. Positions can be:

* **Individual Contributor (IC)** — specialist/technical track
* **Managerial** — people leadership track

***

## What you see

When you open Career Growth, you see:

1. **Your current position** — highlighted in the map based on your assigned role
2. **Growth path** — positions above and alongside yours in the same family
3. **Required skills and competencies** — what each position needs (if your admin has configured this)

Click any position to see its details: description, required skills, and required competencies.

***

## How positions connect to development

Positions link directly to your development tools:

* **Skills & Competencies** — each position defines what's needed. Compare your current levels against the target position to identify gaps.
* **Personal Development Plan** — your PDP is derived from your current or target position. See [Personal Development Plan](/development/personal-development-plan).
* **Goals** — when creating a goal, you can target a specific position. Juno suggests relevant skills and action items based on the position's requirements.

***

## For admins

Career paths are configured by admins in **Admin → Career Growth**:

* **Positions** — create and manage positions with descriptions, skills, and competencies
* **Departments & Families** — organize positions into career ladders
* **Levels** — define IC and managerial tracks with numbered levels
* **Bulk import** — upload positions from CSV
* **Labeling** — customize position descriptions and categories

<InternalNote>
  Career paths admin routes: `/admin/career-growth/map`, `/admin/career-growth/positions`, `/admin/career-growth/competencies`, `/admin/career-growth/labeling`. Feature flag `CAN_SEE_CAREER_PATHS` defaults to 99 (blocked) — most orgs need admin to explicitly enable it. `CAN_LEARNER_VIEW_ALL_POSITIONS` controls whether learners can browse all positions or only their own family.
