CareersPortal.ie (https://careersportal.ie) is Ireland’s National Career Guidance website, providing career information and resources to those needing or providing career guidance. It is supported by both public and private organisations with the dissemination of the most up-to-date information about careers and courses across all sectors of the national economy. The website provides tools for self-assessment on interests, personality, values and skills. The toolbox includes a Career ‘NotePad’ which can be used to store personal documents on career research and job search. The occupational database includes descriptions of job profiles in 33 career sectors supported with video interviews. The job profiles include information on typical tasks and activities undertaken in the position, skills required, salary information and entry routes and educational pathways to the tasks. Each of the career sectors is reviewed and analysed, highlighting skills shortages, occupation types employed, associated educational courses and sector news. It is also possible to search open job vacancies in each sector on a daily basis.
