Maree Career Matrix (MCM)

Description

Authors: J.G. Maree, DEd, PhD, DPhil (Psychology)

The Maree Career Matrix (MCM) reflects individuals’ attraction to 19 job categories by asking them to rate their interest and skill levels in 152 different occupations. The results are then combined and represented on the Maree Career Matrix. The Matrix is comprised of four quadrants, namely: ‘Go for it’, ‘Bottom of the pile’, ’Use it, don’t lose it’ or ‘Upskill yourself’. The language has purposefully been kept colloquial and approachable. An individual’s total scores (interest and confidence) on each category are then plotted on this Matrix to provide them with insight into possible career paths. Together, the two types of information provide comprehensive, rich data that are invaluable as part of a career process.

The MCM can be useful in the career journey by:

• Exploring new avenues in career development for clients.
• Pinpointing areas of academic study that can build skills, and as a result increase career options.
• Supporting personal counselling by identifying career areas that can be explored to help meet individuals’ career journey needs.
• Examining individuals’ career-related self-concept and self-efficacy.
