Talented — a modern international career guidance platform

Problem and Solution:

Problem: Career guidance in schools is fragmented: one-off tests lack depth, students do not understand themselves, and parents and schools lack a systematic tool to support career choices in the face of rapid market changes.
Solution: Talented offers a systematic career guidance model: a combination of testing, learning, and reflection. The platform creates a student profile, provides recommendations, and helps schools and parents guide teenagers in choosing their path.

Products and Services:

An online career guidance platform for teenagers: multi-component assessments, educational modules, personalized reports, and recommendations. Additional features: subscriptions, workshops, consultations, programs for schools, and training for career counselors.

Audience:

Families, parents of teenagers aged 12–18, and the teenagers themselves; schools (public, private, and high schools); career counselors; educational organizations; EdTech partners; HR departments; and corporate youth development programs.

Investment proposal:

Talented is raising $250,000 – $500,000 to scale its career guidance platform.
Key investment areas:
- product development and analytical core enhancement
- scaling marketing and user acquisition
- partnerships with schools, universities, and EdTech companies
- preparation for international expansion

The goal is to build a scalable, systemic career guidance solution for both local and global markets.

History and mission of Talented

Talented was created by a team of career counselors, psychologists, instructional designers, and educators who identified a gap: teenagers are choosing their futures at random, while existing tools offer either boring PDF reports or superficial tests. The solution was a career guidance system that combines 8 diagnostic methods, game mechanics, and personalized talent analytics so that every teenager receives an accurate map of their abilities and realistic paths forward.

Mission: to help every teenager build an accurate map of their abilities and confidently choose a path in the world of future professions.

Customers reviews

“Talented is a great program that can help you figure out what career you want to pursue—or at least point you in the right direction—no matter where you are in the process, even if you have absolutely no idea what you want to do, even if you’re in 11th grade.”

Oleksandr

“I appreciated the comprehensive approach and the holistic overview. Specialists from various fields worked with the children and were able to piece together a complete picture, which has already yielded results. I also liked the final report, which provided a very detailed and structured overview of the areas that need work and the child’s abilities and aptitudes.”

Bohdana

“I’ve really figured out what field I’m interested in now, and I’ve pretty much decided on the direction I want to take—what I want to do and who I want to be in the future.”
