Without measured occupation fit, AI preparedness, market intelligence, and opportunity access, students risk costly decisions and institutions risk weaker outcomes. The GlobalProsEdge AI Career Intelligence Initiative is the free data layer beneath your existing and planned career programs.
TraitDNA™’s 21 O*NET-benchmarked traits measure whether a student’s actual work style predicts success in an occupation, not just whether it appeals to them, then turns that into a verified Career Readiness Certification employers can trust.
A validated Critical Thinking measurement, a measured AI Readiness Score™, and task-level AI exposure data replace self-reported confidence, then turn the results into personalized upskilling recommendations.
Current job-posting, employer, skill, and compensation data keeps advising grounded in real local demand, including AI-driven salary premiums students might otherwise never know to ask about.
Measured strengths are benchmarked against 926 O*NET occupations to surface adjacent roles students qualify for, then paired with broader job-board and employer-career-page coverage to help them find and apply.
Most career centers already screen students with a Holland Code (RIASEC) interest inventory, and it’s a legitimate tool. But it answers a narrower question: what would a student enjoy. TraitDNA™ answers a different one: where are they likely to succeed.
RIASEC tools measure 6 broad interest types and match them to occupations, including many in O*NET. That narrows the field to what a student finds engaging, but it doesn’t measure whether their actual work style predicts success in that occupation.
TraitDNA™ measures 21 work-style traits, then benchmarks them against the same O*NET occupations for likelihood of success, not just interest, turning the result into a verifiable credential and a ranked list of occupations a student is likely to succeed in.
Every student who completes the measurement receives the full package below, organized around the things that move them toward a job: a hireable credential, verified AI readiness with a personalized upskilling plan, and a wider set of occupations and openings to consider. At no cost to them or your career center.
21 independently measured workplace behavioral traits, not a self-reported claim.
Shows exactly where a student’s measured strengths meet real occupational expectations.
A verified credential, plus a shareable badge, a student can put directly in front of an employer.
Shows how a student’s own work-style traits position them to adapt as their field is changed by AI.
An independently scored measurement of how well a student evaluates AI outputs and oversees agentic AI decisions.
A free, occupation-level look at how AI is currently affecting their best-fit occupations.
Specific courses and tools matched to each student’s own AI readiness gap, not a generic training list.
Expands their options to compatible occupations they may not have considered.
Flags when a student’s profile matches successful entrepreneurs, a path standard measurements miss entirely.
Live openings aligned with their best-fit occupations, pulled from ~95% of US jobs.
TraitDNA™ was developed with the guidance of a team of four Industrial-Organizational Psychologists, including three doctoral-level experts specializing in workplace behavioral measurement, occupational alignment, and hiring success prediction. Every work-style trait is mapped to and benchmarked against O*NET occupational success profiles, entrepreneurial success patterns, and current AI exposure data across professions.
Your institution tracks graduate outcomes and career-placement data it reports every year. TraitDNA™ gives the students your career center serves scientifically measured career intelligence, plus a documented, benchmarked data point behind every career and internship recommendation your advisors make. All at no cost to your college, university, community college, or career center, or to the students you serve.
Support student success, career-readiness, and graduate-outcomes goals with measurable, data-backed career guidance.
The GlobalProsEdge AI Career Intelligence Initiative is GlobalProsEdge’s public-service program, built to help career centers place more students into jobs that fit, not just complete more measurements. The free TraitDNA™ measurement gives students a credential employers value, evidence-based AI readiness, and career paths benchmarked against the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET database. There is no cost to your college, university, community college, or career center, or students.
