Recognize a broader set of strengths
Creativity, practical judgment, curiosity and care all have a place. Nine profiles give people a richer vocabulary for what they bring.
SIM VENTURES · CAREER DISCOVERY
See how different strengths connect to real careers.
A job title tells only part of the story. SIM Ventures brings profiles, career verticals and real occupational evidence together to help people discover possibilities they may never have considered.
Our goal is to help learners recognize their strengths, explore what interests them, and choose a direction worth trying.

MAKE THE CONNECTION
Every vertical brings a different mix.
Choose a field and discover the traits and combinations that show up in its careers.
The strongest traits
How often each profile is prominent in this group of careers.
Strengths that work together
These profile combinations appear together within the same careers.
Charts summarize the career tags in the SIM Ventures working atlas: 2 = substantive, 3 = prominent. They describe the work; career choices remain open. Candidate signals and occupational sources are available in career results.

SIM VENTURES · RESEARCH FOUNDATION
How we connect nine profiles to occupations
SIM Ventures uses a provisional nine-dimension behavioral framework. We examine occupation-specific O*NET tasks and work activities, cross-check real employer descriptions, and document human scoring judgments. The nine profiles are our research design, not an official O*NET scale or a validated prediction of career satisfaction.
Prototype research results. O*NET source evidence is available for exploration; candidate profile mappings are preliminary.
Explore imported O*NET evidence
Browse official occupations separately from the selected SIM career atlas. Candidate indices are preliminary; opening an occupation does not add it to the atlas.
Primary research sources
O*NET occupational database
Occupation tasks, work activities, skills, and context provide the core evidence for occupational demand patterns. The versioned candidate importer follows published task/activity links; independent crosswalk validation remains outstanding.
O*NET database and releasesO*NET OnLine occupations
Source-linked occupational summaries help reviewers judge the relevance of specific behaviors, rather than inferring scores from job titles.
Browse occupation evidenceCurrent employer descriptions
Compare responsibilities, tools and problem-solving demands across specialties; preserve employer versus aggregator provenance. Advertisements are not a validated behavioral scale.
Bureau of Labor Statistics
Employment projections, median pay and annual openings inform opportunity and accessibility. They do not determine the nine behavioral scores.
BLS employment projectionsScientific foundation & limits
Person–job fit research motivates studying alignment between people's characteristics and occupational demands. It does not establish that SIM Ventures' nine specific dimensions, or an AI-based engagement, predict job fulfillment.

What we need before calling a fingerprint validated
Import O*NET work-activity and task ratings with precise version and identifiers; establish a written 1–5 scoring rubric; link evidence to each occupation/dimension; independently review pilot scores; resolve disagreements and measure agreement. Only then consider extending reviewed scoring across all 180 occupations. Keep student interests and occupational opportunity separate from the behavior fingerprint.
Real employer evidence for career discovery
See what careers involve, what employers ask for, and the education or experience needed to enter or progress in a field.—Matching job records
—Six-state board-listed jobs
—Configured employer boards
Explore career evidence
The default view covers six target states. Choose all saved locations to inspect every imported job, including location mismatches. State filters use source location text rather than the requested search state. Title level describes the title; experience requirements are shown in job details. Every example has a best-fit career vertical. Compare employer requirements here with growth and openings in Explore Careers to identify promising education pathways. Career grouping does not change the original research scores.

Source guidance: BLS occupational employment estimates · BLS occupation projections · JOLTS hires by industry. These are different measurements. No nationwide counts are inferred from our six-state research sample. Official BLS employment, wage and projection metrics are shown for matching detailed SOC occupations. Refresh the full dataset with the documented BLS importer; unmatched roles display a dash. We do not display nationwide vacancy, internship, employer or hire counts without a reliable national dataset. BLS typical entry education is not a universal hiring requirement and is intentionally excluded.
