Career Path Finder is a free, offline-first career discovery tool from SkillGlider. A student types in the skills they already have – Python, SQL, Excel, Figma, anything – and instantly sees which job roles they are closest to, how strong the match is, what those roles pay, and exactly what to learn next. It runs entirely in the browser with no account, no sign-up, and no backend, so any student can use it in seconds.
Most students know a handful of skills but have no idea which careers those skills actually lead to. Career advice is usually generic ("learn to code", "do data science"), job descriptions are scattered across hundreds of sites, and it is hard to tell how far you are from a role or what gap to close first. Many career tools also demand an account or personal data before showing anything useful.
Career Path Finder turns a student's current skills into a ranked list of real career options. Each role is scored against its core and bonus skill requirements, so the student sees not just a job title but how close they already are and which missing skills matter most. Every match opens into a full roadmap, curated resources, resume keywords and a growth ladder, turning "what can I become?" into a concrete next step.
Career Path Finder is a single-page, offline-first web app. The roles, skills, salary bands, roadmaps and resource metadata ship as a local JSON dataset, and a client-side matching engine normalizes the user's input (aliases, abbreviations, typo tolerance) and scores every role against its weighted core and bonus skills. Saved paths, bookmarks and recent searches are kept in localStorage, and DOMPurify sanitizes rendered content. Because there is no server, the app loads fast, costs nothing to run, and never sends a student's data anywhere.
Students describe the same skill in many ways (JS, Javascript, javascript, React.js vs React).
Built an alias and fuzzy-matching layer so abbreviations and small typos still map to the right skill.
A simple keyword overlap made every role look equally good.
Split each role's requirements into core and bonus skills and weighted them 70/30, so the score reflects what actually matters for the job.
Keeping the tool free, fast and private for students.
Designed it offline-first with a bundled JSON dataset and local storage, so there is no backend to pay for and no personal data leaves the device.
