How does CAREERCODE work?
CAREERCODE is based on a discovery by theorist and professor Dr. John L. Holland. He spent years classifying and refining information about various work environments, assigned each one an “interest code”, and then arranged them into his now famous Holland Hexagon. It became the basis for many career exploration systems. After thousands of interviews, we made […]
Why jobs, not occupations?
The CAREERCODE secret sauce is simple: we have constructed a massive and up to date database of “jobs” vs. “occupations”.

School counselors typically assist hundreds of students each year and often do not have the time to provide individual career guidance. Many students enter college with a great deal of anxiety because they’re being asked to make important (and expensive!) life choices […]
WHAT MAKES CAREERCODE UNIQUE?
The world of work and education has changed significantly. Twenty years ago you couldn’t earn a paycheck as a blogger-for-hire or a mobile device engineer. Job creation and changes are more frequent, faster paced and higher tech. Every field is becoming more specialized. In 2003 we began developing our own proprietary database to update job […]
