First Tracks is career strategy for people 17 to 30. A passion-based assessment, an honest read on how AI is reshaping the path you're considering, and a written Trail Map you can actually act on. Three tiers based on where you are.
Career direction for ages 17 to 30 — figuring out what comes after high school, navigating a post-grad job market that's been rewritten by AI, or breaking out of a stalled first job.
Built on 35 years of hiring, mentoring, and watching young people either thrive or stall based on whether their work matched who they actually were.
The biggest decision of your life, made with the least amount of life experience to inform it. We figure out who you are first — then map the path that fits, whether that's a four-year college, a trade, a gap year, or something nobody told you was an option.
See what's included → 02 — THE OVERLOOKYou have a degree. The job market doesn't look like the one you were promised. Entry-level roles are shrinking, AI is rewriting every field, and "follow your passion" stopped being useful around year two of college. We rebuild the strategy from your actual profile — not the major you happened to pick at 18.
See what's included → 03 — THE SWITCHBACKYou're a couple years in, the work is fine, but it's not it. You don't need to start over. You need to figure out what's actually misaligned and what's just early-career grind — then build a route from where you are to where you should be. No quitting required to start.
See what's included →A custom AI playbook calibrated to your specific path, role, and goals. How to use AI as a second brain — without losing the skill underneath. Available as an add-on to any First Tracks tier.
Resumes, LinkedIn polish, interview prep — those things matter. They're also what every career coach in the country offers, and they're not the problem. The problem is upstream: people pointed at the wrong path don't get unstuck by sharper resumes. They get unstuck by figuring out which path they should actually be on.
First Tracks combines a science-backed passion and personality assessment (Holland Code, Ikigai, plus a Trailhead questionnaire built specifically for this work) with a real-time read on how AI is reshaping every recommended path. The deliverable isn't a list of jobs that match your profile. It's a written Trail Map — built for you, with your name on it — that lays out the directions worth pursuing, what AI is doing to each one, and the next concrete steps you can take this week.
And because passions evolve, this isn't a one-shot transaction. Coming back in two years for a recalibration isn't failure. It's how careers actually work.
