Digital Career Counselor brings together career content, alumni outcomes, real salary data, and a job board in one place. The newest version adds some new features: degree-level filtering, Common and Alternative Career Pathways, AI summaries of search results, a progress dashboard, and customization tools for admin users. Here is what each feature does and how to use it.
The Dashboard is your starting point each time you log in. It shows your progress across all six sections of the platform (Personality Assessment, Outcomes, Tuition, Job Board, Career Feed, and Search 360), surfaces personalized recommendations based on your interests, and gives you quick access to your activity history, saved content, and progress certificate. Your institution's career resources are also available here under University Resources.
Take our 20-question assessment to identify majors and job titles that fit your personality. Download a comprehensive personality report to understand your unique strengths and how they connect to potential careers and academic paths.
The Outcomes tab shows what graduates from your school actually did after leaving: top majors, employers, job functions, and skills. Use the filters to narrow the data to the paths most relevant to your goals.
Search 360 lets you search Steppingblocks' full dataset by job title or major to see both common and alternative career paths of working professionals, including the skills they used, education they needed, employers they worked for, and salaries they earned. Get an AI-generated summary of your search results to identify the most relevant patterns without manually reading through every data point.
Understanding what college actually costs is an important part of career planning. Enter your expected 4-year net total, adjust your loan terms, and see what your education investment will cost over time and how long it will take to break even. Aligning your potential salary with your monthly payments gives you a clearer picture of your financial future before you commit.
Browse real job postings in real time. Whether you are ready to apply or just exploring what employers are looking for, the Job Board helps you understand what it takes to be a competitive candidate in your field.
Update your interests on your Career Feeds Page and your content feed adjusts to match. You will find expert advice, industry-specific knowledge, and career guidance curated by professionals in your fields of interest.
