A short, free reflection tool for young people thinking about what could come after school — and for the parents, carers, and practitioners around them.
Live at: next.nudgeeducation.online
Seven questions. Six archetypes. One personalised next-step page. The whole thing takes about three minutes.
Built for the cohort that wouldn't normally engage with a careers advisor — young people aged 11–18 who aren't currently in mainstream school, often with EBSNA, anxiety, SEND, medical needs, or complex circumstances. NEO Next surfaces non-obvious paths (remote work, neurodivergent-friendly trades, peer-led roles) alongside the familiar ones.
The six archetypes are anchored to the RIASEC career-interests framework (used by O*NET and most credible careers tools) but renamed for the audience:
| Archetype | One-line |
|---|---|
| Maker | You'd rather build it than write about it. |
| Connector | You notice how other people are feeling before they say anything. |
| Investigator | You'd open it up to see how it works. |
| Storyteller | You turn what you see into something other people can feel. |
| Organiser | You'd rather have it sorted than have it perfect. |
| Pattern-spotter | You see the system underneath things. |
Each result links into the relevant strands of the NEO Curriculum Vault.
A single static HTML file. No build step, no framework. Self-contained except for two external resources:
- Google Fonts (Fraunces + Inter) for typography
- jsPDF from cdnjs for the "Download as PDF" button
The cube on the landing page is plain CSS 3D transforms. Sharing uses URL hashes (#you=maker:investigator) so a shared link lands directly on the result.
The "Send me the pack" form on the result page POSTs to a Google Form in the admin@nudgeeducation.online workspace. Responses land in the NEO Next — Follow-up Requests sheet. The form's submission endpoint and field IDs are visible in the page source — this is intentional, the form accepts anonymous POSTs by design.
If you ever rebuild the form, you'll need to re-fetch the field IDs from the rendered viewform HTML — Google generates them separately from the IDs exposed by the Apps Script FormApp API. See the inline comment in index.html.
