dc.description.abstractThe Career Achievement Project (CAP) is an ongoing research project started by Dr. Rick Cotton approximately 14 years ago, compiling data on more than 30,000 individuals from 242 different professional and occupational national and international halls of fame. The study aims to examine the nature of extraordinary career achievement to identify the key factors that contribute to the development of exceptional success by the top 1-2% of role incumbents in different fields, helping to inform excellence going forward. During my internship I read and analyzed biographies to notice demographic factors that could influence an inductee's level of success. The halls of fame I chose to research were: One Club Creative, Cooperative, National Aviation, Panthéon, ARIA (Australian Radio Industry Association), AICE (Association of Independent Creative Editors), Australian Television, Seedsman, and the International Green Industry Hall of Fame. In this infographic you should notice; 1) majority of inductees are men, 2) the majority of inductees are NOT a person of color, 3) if an individual was a minority, specifically a person of color, they focused on social activism and equality in their careers, and 4) occupational success is subjective, but there ARE certain factors that can help you become successful.
