Practitioner-Led Career
Guidance for Every Student
Founded by a practicing guidance counsellor, MyCareerVerse empowers Irish secondary school students to navigate subject choices, CAO applications, apprenticeships, and career exploration with confidence and clarity.
Built by a Guidance Counsellor, for Guidance
MyCareerVerse was founded by Angela Curran, a practicing guidance counsellor who saw first-hand how students and parents struggled to access clear, reliable career information at the moments that matter most — choosing Leaving Cert subjects, exploring CAO options, and making sense of the many pathways available after secondary school.
Rather than a technology-first platform, MyCareerVerse is practitioner-led. Every tool, resource, and piece of content is shaped by real experience in the guidance room, grounded in the frameworks set by the Department of Education, NCGE, and IGC standards.
Working alongside an Educational Technologist, Angela has built a platform that blends professional guidance expertise with thoughtful technology — bringing the depth of a school counselling session into an accessible, always-available digital experience.

Whether you are a student curious about the platform, a parent wanting to know more, or a guidance counsellor exploring it for your school, we would be glad to walk you through it.
Guidance at Every Stage of the Journey
From early subject choices through to college applications and beyond, MyCareerVerse provides the tools and insights students need at each decision point.
Subject Choice Tools
Interactive decision-making tools that map Leaving Cert subjects to college requirements, factoring in exemptions, additional learning needs, and HPAT-Ireland pathways.
CAO & Course Explorer
Search, filter, and compare CAO courses across every college and level. Save favourites, check entry requirements, and build a shortlist that matches your strengths.
Career DNA Assessments
Discover your unique career profile through RIASEC, personality, skills, values, and motivators assessments — then see the careers and courses that align with your results.
EU Study Abroad
Explore tuition-free and low-cost degree programmes across Europe. Dedicated resources for applying through Studielink, Parcoursup, and direct university routes.
Designed for Students, Parents & Counsellors
Your Future, Your Choices
Whether you're in Transition Year figuring out what interests you, or in 6th Year finalising your CAO, MyCareerVerse gives you the tools to make informed decisions without the overwhelm.
Take career assessments to uncover your strengths, explore 271+ careers with real-world insights, check which subjects unlock which courses, and build a plan that fits who you actually are — not just what gets the most points.
Support Their Journey with Confidence
The Leaving Cert and CAO process has changed enormously since you were in school. MyCareerVerse gives you the up-to-date information you need to have meaningful conversations with your child about their options.
Understand subject requirements, explore apprenticeship pathways alongside college routes, and discover EU study opportunities. You don't need to have all the answers — just the right resource to point them towards.
Built by a Counsellor, for Counsellors
MyCareerVerse was designed to complement your work in the guidance room, not replace it. Use our tools during one-to-one sessions, classroom guidance, or as homework resources for students doing their own exploration.
Access professional toolkits, calendar templates, and AI-in-education training developed specifically for guidance practice. Everything is aligned with NCGE and IGC standards, so you can integrate it with confidence.
What Guides Everything We Build
Disclaimer
The course and career selections made by the student are entirely dependent on the way they complete the online questionnaire. The objective is to give them a broad range of higher education courses in alignment with their stronger interests. It is essential that they thoroughly research the nature of any courses and careers that they are drawn to, their entry requirements and the likely demands they would make on them personally and academically, before they apply for a place. Entry requirements for higher education courses can vary from time to time, as can the availability or non-availability of certain courses. Therefore, it is your responsibility to check each university's website for the latest information. Your final selection of course and higher education institution, or other courses, must always be your own responsibility.
Practitioner-Led
This isn't a tech company that built a guidance product. It's a guidance counsellor who built the platform she wished existed — informed by daily practice, student conversations, and professional standards.
Every Pathway Matters
University is one route, not the only route. MyCareerVerse gives equal weight to apprenticeships, further education, and EU study options — because the best path is the one that fits the student, not the one with the highest points.
Thoughtful Technology
We use technology to extend the reach of good guidance — not to replace human connection. Our AI-in-education training helps schools understand what these tools can and can't do, keeping the counsellor at the centre.
Building Something Meaningful
From Guidance Room to Platform
Angela Curran recognised that students needed access to reliable career guidance outside of limited school appointment slots. The idea for a digital, always-available resource took shape.
Core Tools & Career Database
The Careers2026 database, Career DNA assessments, CAO Course Explorer, and Subject Choice tools were developed — each grounded in real student needs and Irish curriculum requirements.
EU Pathways & AI Training
Study abroad resources, apprenticeship guides, and AI-in-education training for schools were added — broadening the platform from student-facing tools to a comprehensive guidance ecosystem.
Growing the Career Guide Library
In-depth guides for Computer Science, Primary Teaching, Engineering, Nursing, Creative Arts, Agriculture, Pharmacy, and Architecture are in development — alongside expanded counsellor toolkits and professional resources.
