CAREER PATH DECIDE TOOL The Department of Defense offers a career pathway and education advisement tool called Career Path DECIDE (https://www.careerpathdecide.org). Career Path DECIDE will allow Service members interested in using Voluntary Education programs such as financial support for certifications, licensures, and apprenticeships, as well as post-secondary education Tuition Assistance benefits, to access a tool designed to guide them toward highgrowth careers for which they are most qualified and educational opportunities that will close knowledge, skill, and ability gaps for a selected career pathway. The intent of Career Path DECIDE’s design is to empower Service members by ensuring they have the information needed, within the context of their future civilian career goals, to make the optimal use of their time and resources to reap the highest return on their investment. Uniquely, Career Path DECIDE presents data using a Career Pathway framework that recommends clusters of occupations to Service members based on their existing education, as well as military and civilian work experience and then enables them to explore how they might start and progress within a career pathway over time. The tool has been designed to support personal searches by individual Service members.
