What the work is worth. The web is where most people meet an organization for the first time. A web developer builds the front door for clinics, schools, small businesses, and campaigns.
An ordinary day. Build and maintain websites and web apps, translate designs into working pages, fix layout and performance issues, and test across devices.
The path in. Associate's or bachelor's, or a self-taught portfolio; front-end work rewards demonstrated skill over credentials.
From zero. The STEM Farm Software / Web / QA / Automation track starts at zero-STEM intake and ends in this kind of work, with verified proof at every gate.

What the assessment measures for this career
- Adaptability. New tools, new languages, new rules do not throw you. You expect the ground to move and you enjoy relearning.
- Practicality. You are drawn to building functional things — physical or digital — that work in the real world.
- Persistence. You keep going through hours of troubleshooting. A problem that refuses to yield is a reason to stay, not a reason to leave.

- Communication. You can turn a complex finding into a clear story for people who do not share your training.
- Detail Orientation. You remember complex facts and catch small errors before they become large ones.
Each trait is scored 0–100 from the items that load on it. The match for Web Developer is the weighted gap between those scores and the levels the role runs on — so the number on your report says exactly which trait carried it and which one would stretch you.
