What is a Career Assessment Matrix and how to use it – ExPECT

The video introduces the Career Assessment Matrix (CAM) as a transparent tool for presenting various academic merits. It explains that CAM supports both evaluators and candidates in processes such as recruitment and career development by outlining key competencies, which can be described both qualitatively and quantitatively. The video emphasises that individuals should focus on the criteria most relevant to their strengths and context, rather than trying to excel in every area.
