Take the STEM Compass assessmentSee the STEM Farm tracks
What the assessment measures
280 items in five modules — what you love to do, how you work, fifteen STEM working traits, thirty real situations, and where you want your work to land — matched against forty careers in eight families. Then a sixth module drafts your mission, vision and values in your own words. Progress saves as you go; it is free and complete today.
STEM career change. A career change at thirty or fifty starts with the same question as at seventeen: what do you love to do and what do you want your work to change? The assessment answers it, and STEM Farm tracks start at zero with no prior STEM assumed.

The wider labor market
Most STEM jobs a Divide County resident will hold are inside the Williston, ND zone, not inside the county line.

Questions people ask
How is a "stem career change" different from a personality type test?
A type test gives you a label. STEM Compass gives you a profile on fifteen working traits and eight kinds of impact, then a directional match against each career — a number you can explain, not a letter code.
Does it cost anything?
No. The full assessment is open at tienesesto.org/stem-assessment, and every result links to a STEM Farm track that starts from zero.
