The Pathfinder Career Navigator helps young adults discover meaningful career pathways using time-tested principles from interest inventories like the Strong Interest Inventory. By asking thoughtful questions about interests, values, and preferences, Pathfinder guides each user toward career clusters that align with their strengths and personality.

What Pathfinder Can Do

• Ask structured interest-based questions
• Identify career clusters aligned with personal strengths
• Recommend fields such as STEM, Social Services, Business, Trades, and Creative Paths
• Suggest training, certificates, and next steps
• Help users understand the “why” behind each recommendation
• Boost confidence for teens and young adults unsure of their direction

Why This Matters

Many young adults want meaningful direction but have limited access to guidance counselors, mentors, or structured career assessments. Pathfinder provides an equitable way to help them make informed choices about education, employment, and long-term goals — all at their own pace.

Who Pathfinder Helps

• High-school students exploring future directions
• Young adults choosing college majors or certificate programs
• Teens in mentorship programs (Boys & Girls Clubs, CSC partners)
• Individuals seeking a career change or second chance
• Nonprofits providing workforce readiness and career support
