Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pathway help with the CAO?

Pathway has proven to be immensely beneficial for Irish students when it comes to completing their course choices linked with the CAO process. Students can take the Pathway Survey before it is time to complete the CAO application form, where they will receive their list of recommended course options to choose from, ahead of time. Whilst the CAO process asks for ten courses, Pathway provides twelve, facilitating a discussion with parents, career guidance counsellors and students to help validate the student’s decision. This means that students are ready for their first deadline in the course selection submission on the CAO platform.

How was the Pathway program developed?

The Pathway Program was developed between 2017 and 2020. Founded in the academically-validated decision-making styles inventory model, the algorithm was further developed to augment students’ passions and interests in life, together with favourite subjects and hobbies that could be incorporated into their careers. The algorithm went through various stages of rigorous testing and received a great deal of input from students, who had a huge say in the final version of the software design, consistently providing feedback on how we could improve the product to better suit their needs. This is how the message came about, “developed for students, with students”.

What is Pathway?

Pathway is an online career planning tool that is designed to help students in the decision-making process when looking at third level education and potential future careers. It takes into consideration the student’s favourite subjects in school, their hobbies and interests and things they are passionate about, and combines this information with the student’s decision-making style.

Is Pathway easy to understand?

Yes, the pathway report was specifically designed with students in mind, so it is easy to understand, whilst also being engaging.

How long will it take for me to the the Pathway questionnaire?

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. All the questions are about you, your likes and dislikes, your passions and ambitions, so it is a really fun survey to take!

How long has Pathway been in operation?

Pathway has been in existence and operating since 2017.

What happens after I do the survey?

After you complete the survey, you have two options; would you like the short version of the report, which outlines just the course titles and is free of charge? Or the long version of the report, which is a paid report and discusses each recommended course in detail and outlines career options upon completion of the course, as part of a membership plan. In addition to this, it provides an in-depth description of the strengths and potential areas for development in your personal decision-making style.
