What's My Profile?
It’s a digital space for people to document who they are, what they enjoy and what they’re aiming for.
Learners’ profiles will belong to them and travel with them through their learner journey, from primary school all the way to adulthood.
Some key features
Learners can:
- upload and showcase their achievements, skills, qualifications and awards, hobbies, learning and more
- set and track personalised goals and track progress
- reflect and grow, allowing conversations with peers and adults to help them understand their learning progress, what they're proud of and next steps
- download and share their profiles with family, teachers, careers advisers and anyone else they want to share their journey with
- use My Profile through their My World of Work account for a seamless experience
Encourage your pupils to tell their story and start building their personal profile today!
Profile sharing on My Profile
We’ve just introduced an exciting new enhancement that will mean even more opportunities for collaboration and reporting.
Profile sharing, which we’ve developed with educators and pupils, allows users to share a view-only version of their profile. You’ll be able to see, in real time, what your pupils have added to their profiles – which helps you to support them.
What’s great about profile sharing for educators?
You don’t have to worry about security or extra admin – profile sharing has:
- a one-step share – pupils type in your share code and you can view their accounts
- quick search – you can find pupils or customers with ease
- read-only access – for safeguarding and accuracy
- valuable insights – view achievements, goals and meta-skills in one place
To further protect privacy, all shared views reset at the end of each academic year.

What’s next for My Profile?
In our next phase we’re co-designing new educator resources, to support you in embedding My Profile with learners.
