Considerable attention is being paid to career guidance and counselling for young people about to enter work for the first time, but the needs of those in mid‐career have been comparatively overlooked. Current social and economic changes have created a less secure context for the pursuit of careers and have created a need for new tools for mid‐career management. This paper describes one such tool—the career graph—and its use with middle level industrial managers during a short course on career management.
