A career-interest assessment for Cleveland K-12

Find what you like.

Six dimensions of interest. Forty-five years of research. A fifteen-minute survey that gives you a starting point — not a verdict.

The framework

RIASEC

Six dimensions, arranged on a hexagon. Adjacent dimensions correlate; opposite ones contrast.

R · Realistic

Hands-on, practical work. Tools, machines, equipment, animals, and being outside.

Example careers: Mechanic · Carpenter · Veterinary tech · Electrician · Park ranger

Where it leads

Your Holland code is a starting point — not a label. EXPLR connects it to real ways to explore, and the right one changes with your grade.

Middle school

Hands-on summer camps and short workshops — design, environmental science, underwater robotics — to try interests on for size before committing.

Grades 4–12

FIRST LEGO League, FTC, and FRC teams. Build, code, and compete — and discover which STEM lanes click.

High school

Real workplace internships matched to your top RIASEC themes — one short application covers the catalog.

A 5th grader trying a robotics camp and a junior applying for a biomedical internship are on the same map — just at different points on it.
