The SHAPE Career Assessment and Certification
Evidence-based clarity for leadership and career transitions.
The Global Career Advancement Institute (Global CAI) provides the SHAPE Career AssessmentĀ®, a research-backed framework for measuring career self-efficacy.
Unlike personality tests that describe who you are, SHAPE identifies your capacity to execute. It measures the specific drivers that determine how you evaluate options, navigate high-stakes transitions, and maintain momentum during organizational change.
To ensure the data is used effectively, the assessment is administered exclusively through certified coaches as part of a structured professional review.
