Discover What’s Possible

Students can’t pursue careers they’ve never heard of. Many have natural strengths that align with in-demand jobs—but they often don’t know those paths exist.

The YouScience Aptitude Assessment uses fun, science-based brain games to match middle and high school students with careers and education options that fit their unique abilities. The result is a personalized Career Discovery Plan to help students confidently map out their future.

YouScience isn’t just for students—adults exploring career changes can also use it to get tailored guidance for their next steps.

Built on over 50 years of research and used by thousands of schools and millions of learners nationwide, YouScience helps people of all ages discover their path forward.
