Align - Passions Aligned, Dreams Defined

by
Align is unique because it moves beyond personality-based career quizzes and instead uses a student's actual experiences, interests, skills, and demonstrated performance to identify career paths. Students complete an activity-based profile, adaptive assessments, and interactive career simulations before receiving personalized career recommendations, major pathways, and actionable next steps tailored to their strengths and goals.

Hi everyone! I'm Kavya, a high school student and the founder of Align. I built Align because I was experiencing the same problem many students face: being asked to make major decisions about careers, college majors, and future goals without having enough exposure to what those paths actually look like. Most tools I found were personality quizzes that gave generic results but didn't help me understand whether I would actually enjoy or succeed in a career. The idea became even clearer after attending HOBY, a state leadership conference, where I met students from incredibly different backgrounds who were all asking similar questions about their futures. As a student founder, I've spent the past year interviewing students, testing prototypes, and running workshops to better understand what young people actually need from career guidance. I'm excited to finally share Align with all of you and would love any feedback or questions!
