Do you replace career counselors?

No. Counselors can help with therapy-adjacent issues and in-depth 1:1 work. WisGrowth complements that with scalable, pattern-based discovery, resume truth, and identity-aligned next steps.

What makes WisGrowth different from aptitude tests?

We map patterns over time, not just snapshots. Instead of static labels, we infer traits from your inputs and align them to real roles and proof-of-work steps.

Yes. We use anonymized, aggregated signals to improve matching while keeping your identifiable data private.

How much does WisGrowth cost compared to counseling?

Counseling can be session-based and costly. WisGrowth offers affordable plans that include quizzes, resume analysis, and evolving guidance.

WisGrowth vs Traditional Career Counselors

Counseling can be helpful — but it’s often snapshot-based. Your life is not. WisGrowth adds identity-aligned, pattern-based guidance that evolves with you.
