The CDI Career Development Framework has been designed for use by any career development practitioner supporting young people and adults, with materials to specifically support use in primary, secondary and further education. 

Here you can find links to a number of key software applications and digital tools specific to working in career development. These listings are not an endorsement by the CDI.
