Explore career paths with help from the future.

Wayfinding in the 21st century is harder, prone to anxiety, and the stakes are higher than ever before. Youth need information, and exposure to different careers that could match their passions and goals. Beacon creates fun, meaningful experiences where they can chat with AI-generated future selves in different careers. This future self will guide them through design thinking strategies to encourage career exploration. Students gain personalized insights, practical next steps, and the improved sense of self-efficacy to pursue diverse career paths they might never have considered.
