A 5-Dimensional Career Assessment Framework that correlates learner aptitudes, values, interests, personalities and competencies into actionable career pathways aligned with Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum.
Helping learners shape their futures — this platform is designed to help students explore suitable career pathways using a short, student-friendly assessment. The QuickScan identifies strengths and suggests subject and career clusters appropriate for learners.
How we decide your best-fit careers:
Character assessment — a quick temperament-based check that highlights how a learner naturally responds, works, and relates.
Ability assessment — a practical skills check that reveals where a learner's natural strengths are strongest.
Career interest quiz — a guided interest finder that points toward career clusters aligned to a learner's preferences.
Teachers' view tool — a structured review of character, ability and interest from a teacher's perspective.
Parents' insights form — a home-based snapshot of character, ability and interest to add family insight to the guidance process.
Complete a paid module to access a downloadable report showing your results, possible pathways, subjects, and career options.

3. Interests profile (RIASEC)
The report presents the strongest interest signals and translates them into suitable work environments, subjects and pathway options.
R
Realistic
I
Investigative
S
Social
Interest areas are classified using the actual career area rather than assuming that a single RIASEC letter automatically determines the pathway.
4. Teacher findings
Teacher observations are used as an external classroom check on the learner’s strengths, behaviour, participation and learning support needs.
5. Parent views
Parent observations add a home-context perspective and are compared with the learner’s own assessment evidence before final guidance is presented.
6. Integrated Learner / Career Profile
The learner profile is the centre of the correlation: character, ability, interests/RIASEC, teacher observations, parent observations and supporting notes are interpreted together before subjects and pathways are presented.
7. Pathway and subject match
Ranked pathway guidance is connected to recommended subjects and possible careers without displaying the old overall-fit percentage model.
