Career guidance for teenagers 14+
What if you could
try the future on?
Don't pick a profession at random. Start with a free test, then explore yourself, try careers out and plan the way to university — all on one platform.
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
Not “what should you be?”
But who you already are.
We built our own platform: the test brings different sides of a teenager together into one picture, instead of handing out a random job from a short list.
What interests me?
RIASEC explores six types of career interest — it doesn't stick on a label, it shows your combination.
What drives me?
Career drivers show what genuinely motivates you in study and work.
Where do I thrive?
Work preferences describe the environment, format and style of interaction in which it's easier to flourish.
What's next?
8–9 career directions and an action plan the teenager keeps in their account. With the full test, virtual internships and the University Navigator open in the same account.
We explore interests, motivation and environment
Your report is already a complete result. What happens next is up to you.

TEST + REPORT
I want to start on my own
Take the test at your own pace. Get a personal report, try a career for a week, build a university shortlist — and decide what to explore next. A consultation is optional.
- Free 5-minute test to start (no add-ons)
- Full test and personal report, 8–9 careers
- Virtual internships and the University Navigator
- €29.99 — full test, report and both add-ons
DISCOVERY · TEST + CONSULTATION
I want to go through the results together
The report becomes the start of a real conversation. A consultant helps make sense of contradictory results, match them to the teenager's life and plan the next steps. A manager matches a specialist to your needs and language, and agrees the time, format and price.
- In English, Ukrainian or Romanian
- A session on the test results
- Includes the full test and both add-ons
- €150 — 1–1.5 h consultation (Arcadie or Irina)
A manager will confirm the language, format, time and price — you're never tied to one consultant.
PERSONAL MENTORING
I want to go further
When the question is bigger than one test: Arcadie and the team help build an education strategy — from finding a direction and passion projects to exchange programmes, school scholarships and admissions. You can start without the test, with a free 30-minute diagnostic call.
- Exchanges and school scholarships
- Countries, programmes and universities
- Profile, documents and interviews
- 5 sessions — €750 · 10 sessions — €1300
GO DEEPER
Not only “where to apply”. But why.
For those who need a route, not a single conclusion. Arcadie and the team help choose opportunities, exchange programmes and school scholarships, build a profile and apply. The test can be a starting point — but it isn't required.

BEFORE YOU START
Questions?
That's normal.
How much does it cost?
The free test costs nothing and doesn't include the add-ons. The full test with a personal report is €29.99 and includes virtual internships and the University Navigator. Test + consultation (Discovery, 1–1.5 h with Arcadie or Irina) — €150. Personal coaching with Arcadie — a package of 5 sessions for €750 or 10 sessions for €1,300. The first 30-minute diagnostic call is free.
What are virtual internships and the University Navigator?
Two parts of the platform that open with the full test, not with the free one. A virtual internship is a one-week challenge in a career from the report: a task a day, written feedback, a portfolio piece and a completion award. The University Navigator shows real universities and English-taught bachelor's degrees linked to the student's careers, with entry requirements, deadlines, fees and a dated plan.
What age is it for?
For teenagers aged 14 and over. We're preparing a version for young adults.
Where do we start if our teenager has no idea what they want to do?
With the test. It gives you a shared language for talking about interests, motivation and work environment — and a personal report you can come back to on your own or with a consultant.
Is a consultation required after the test?
No. The report is designed to be useful on its own. A consultation helps if you want to interpret the results more deeply, work through contradictions or build a concrete plan.
How do we choose a consultant?
Leave a request. A manager will clarify what you need, your preferred language, format and level of support, and suggest the right specialist.
When is personal mentoring needed?
When the question is wider than choosing a profession: you need an education strategy, preparation for an exchange programme or scholarship, a university shortlist and support through the whole application process.
