Career Orientation App with Comprehensive Self-Assessment
Developed for BW Verlag in collaboration with the Federal Employment Agency, the interactive web application BERUFE-Universum was created to provide students with a structured digital self-assessment and derive individually suitable career and vocational training paths.

Identifying Strengths and Interests for Career Orientation
At the core of the application is a comprehensive self-exploration process. Students reflect on their interests, strengths, and personal preferences while also considering specific exclusion criteria – such as activities they consciously wish to avoid (e.g. working with blood). Academic performance is also taken into account.

Career Ranking as a Planetary Model
The results are translated into a ranked list of professions and visualized as an interactive planetary model. Each profession is represented as a “planet” positioned within a system around the student: the closer a profession is to the central user planet, the higher the match. Additional contextual information explains why a profession is suited to the individual user.
Digital Support for an Important Decision
The application transforms traditional career counseling into an interactive, data-driven experience. It helps young people better understand their opportunities and make informed decisions about their future educational and career paths.
