Career Assessment
Find a Career
That Fits
Assess your values, interests and skills.
Career exploration is a lifelong journey and with so many possibilities, it can be overwhelming. To help you get started, we have an interactive tool to help you learn more about yourself and your career options. PathwayU will guide you through the process of understanding your interests, skills, personality, and values and lead you to a more personalized exploration of majors and careers. Be sure to meet with a career advisor to help you interpret your results.
Self-Guided Career Exploration
PathwayU is a platform empowered by a predictive algorithm to help guide you to an educational choice, help with vocational exploration and find employment pathways where you will live with the greatest sense of purpose and meaning.
Your online account contains assessments, personal reports, a job-matching instrument, and “how-to” tools designed to help you navigate the education through career journey as well as shape a future work-life in ways that will make it meaningful.

2. My Journey
My Journey page is a visual representation of the recommended path towards finding joy, meaning, and purpose in your education and career.
There are clickable links to guide you towards different parts of the platform that are most relevant to where you are in your journey. If you ever find yourself stuck and don’t know what steps to take next, you can always reference the My Journey page for guidance.
3. Self Assessment
All 4 of the PathwayU assessments, Interests, Values, Personality, and Workplace Preference, take about 20 minutes to complete. You can take them all at once, or space it out and take them one at a time. Some of the assessments use an agreement scale, while others are card sort activities where you will follow prompts and select the cards that are most or least important to you. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers here, so just be honest with yourself.
Click on ‘start assessments’ in the self-discovery section via the My Journey Page to take the assessments.
4. Explore the Possibilities
For additional exploration, PathwayU offers several other tools for learning more about occupations and majors, including the specific academic programs available at UW-Green Bay.
5. Make an Appointment
After completing the assessments and exploring the related careers and majors, you should make an appointment with a career advisor at UW-Green Bay, who can help you make sense of your results, explain what the assessments mean, and provide you with additional resources.
Other Options for Career Exploration
In addition to PathwayU, we have tools such as the Strong Interest Inventory or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which might assist you in determining potential career fields or majors. These assessments use information that you provide about your interests and preferences to identify occupations that are likely to be a good fit for you. A career advisor will meet with you to determine whether an assessment tool could help you with your career or major decision-making, and help you interpret your results.
Need Help?
Self-assessments help you clarify your interests, skills and values so you can find majors and careers best suited for you. But there's no one-size-fits-all solution to planning your future. If you're still feeling lost, just contact us for an individual appointment.
