# Career Pathway

The Career Pathway is a Hyperskill feature that gives career recommendations based on user input for image-based work activities. This is achieved through the Career Pathway's Assessment tool, which displays 60 work-related images and allows users to either accept, skip, or reject these images based on whether the user would like to do the work activity shown in the image. After the user gives their feedback on the images, a results screen will appear that shows a list of job recommendations for the user based on their results from the Assessment tool. The Career Pathway feature can be found [here](https://pathway.siminsights.com/).&#x20;

Next, once you are on the Assessment screen, go through each of the 60 image-based work activities. For each image, if the activity shown in the image is an activity that you find interesting or an activity that you would want to do for work, click on the **Yes** button at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, if the activity shown in the image does not interest you at all, click on the **No** button. If you are unsure about whether the activity interests you or not, click on the **Skip** button.

Once you have gone through all 60 images, the Career Pathway will show you 10 potential careers based on your answers to the images shown in the Assessment tool. The results will be shown in order of how closely each career matches with your RIASEC profile. A RIASEC profile is a ranking in 6 different categories that the Career Pathway utilizes in order to find careers that suit your interests. Your RIASEC profile will be shown immediately after finishing the assessment and will show you where you rank in each category. &#x20;

After you have completed an assessment, your career results can be viewed at any time in the **My Matches** tab at the top of the screen. Each career result will have information regarding what the career is about, the median salary, annual job openings, the industry the career fits into, and the growth rate of the career. Each career will also contain information regarding why the Career Pathway selected the career as a recommendation for you, the top skills needed for the career, the knowledge areas needed for the career, the take-home pay of the career, and a typical 5-step pathway for securing the career.&#x20;
