how i work is more than just a careers tool…

…it’s a personalised journey of self-discovery designed to help people, especially those with autism, understand how they learn, thrive and succeed best.

Built for real-life support - Not just careers

While many systems focus only on job titles or qualifications, how i work starts earlier: helping users identify their sensory needs, communication preferences, motivation style and thinking patterns. These insights are essential for building confidence - in school, at home and eventually in the workplace.

Personalised, not generic

No two people are the same. That’s why every activity in how i work adapts to the individual - from the questions asked to the examples used. Whether someone is into music, football or quiet thinking spaces, the platform responds in ways that feel familiar and motivating.

Backed by Research, Designed for Practice

The system is built on academic and psychological research, but it’s practical at its core. The outputs - a dynamic support card and dashboard - give learners, educators and employers real, actionable advice they can use to support each individual more effectively.

Accessible and inclusive by design

how i work was shaped with and for autistic users. It’s accessible, visual and breaks complex ideas into manageable steps. But it’s also helpful for anyone who benefits from clear structure, visual prompts and reflective learning - including those without a diagnosis.

Supports conversations that matter

Whether you’re a teacher, careers advisor, parent or employer, how i work gives you a shared language to understand and support the learner. It helps take the pressure off young people by clearly showing what helps - and what doesn’t.

Future-focused, confidence-first

Our goal isn’t to push someone into a career they’re not ready for - it’s to help them understand how they work, so they can make confident decisions. Every step is about building the self-knowledge that leads to independence, empowerment and employment.
