Questions about PathIQ, career videos, and resources.

Yes. PathIQ can include curated videos and learning resources for careers, majors, trades, certificates, and pathways. The goal is to help students learn what a role is like without having to search from scratch.

That is the intended experience. A career page can include a plain-language overview, curated videos, skills, education routes, related resources, scholarships, and related careers.

Career videos may come from reviewed YouTube links, official schools, workforce agencies, nonprofits, employers, creators, or education providers. Videos are reviewed before appearing as featured resources.

PathIQ reviews videos before featuring them, but you should still use judgment and verify important details such as salaries, credentials, program costs, deadlines, and licensing rules with official sources.

Yes. Students, counselors, families, creators, schools, nonprofits, and community members can submit career videos or resources for review on the Submit a Resource page. Submitted resources never auto-publish — they wait for human review.

No. Career videos and resources are for learning and exploration. PathIQ does not guarantee jobs, salaries, admissions, scholarships, credentials, licensing, or career outcomes.

PathIQ helps you explore careers by education route, skills, and related roles. Side-by-side comparison features are not yet built.

PathIQ helps you build a personal Path Map — a short read on your reusable skills, the kinds of work environments that fit, and a small set of careers to explore next. It's a starting map, not a verdict.

Students, recent grads, adult learners, career switchers, and the counselors, families, and programs that support them.

The Path Map wizard takes about ten minutes. You can come back later.

An admin reviews each resource for relevance, source quality, safety, accuracy, and whether claims about salaries, credentials, or licensing are responsibly sourced. Only resources marked launch-ready appear publicly.

Resources can be labeled Reviewed, Official source, Employer-produced, Student perspective, Career explainer, Day in the life, Skills overview, Program overview, or Needs review. Labels reflect what's actually true about the resource.

Use the Submit a Resource page and pick the kind that fits — note the issue in the why-useful field. We re-review reported items.

No.
