1 / 8 · The gap
For student success, advising & enrollment leaders

Most of your students decide their path alone.

Advising changes outcomes — for the students it reaches. The ones it doesn't reach decide majors, transfers, and whether to stay — without guidance. The best-measured slice of that gap:

31%
of students never use their campus career center — 34% at public institutions.

Why we built this

AI is changing the game — some jobs faster than others. We believe everybody deserves an honest look at how career paths are changing. NewPaths gives you a clear, personalized picture of what's coming and how to plan for it.

NewPaths is the pre-decision layer: every student explores in 15 minutes, your advising and career teams see who needs a human — before the decision, not after.

A signal of where AI may change the work — not a prediction this job disappears. Both lenses are elevated here: the role is being redefined now, toward direction, taste, and client judgment.
Why two lenses? The first measures which tasks AI could theoretically do (Tufts Digital Planet, 2026). The second measures how much AI is actually being used in this occupation right now (Anthropic Economic Index, 2026). For graphic design, the lenses agree: high theoretical exposure and real everyday adoption — the change isn't coming, it's here. That makes skill choice matter more, not less.

Back inside Jordan’s report

It doesn't end at a number.
It ends in a plan.

Every report pairs the outcome data with the skills that hold their value against AI — and a dated roadmap a first-year can actually start.

Every step points at the numbers from Jordan’s report: $77K mid-career in NJ, +2.1% projected growth — BLS-grounded, not vibes. On a High-exposure path, having a plan matters more, not less.

Demo data — skills and roadmap are generated per student and career; salary, exposure, and growth stay grounded in published research.

Every report opens a conversation

The doubts get a place
to go.

Under every report is a chat that knows the career, the data, and the student's questions — including the ones they'd never ask an adult out loud.

What if I'm not sure this is right for me? Is this career still worth pursuing?
Honestly… is AI going to take this job before I even graduate? 💀
Honest answer: the work is changing fast — both lenses on your report show it. But changing isn't gone: demand is projected to hold steady (+2.1%, BLS), and the value is shifting from making images to creative direction, brand strategy, and client judgment. Two adjacent paths worth a look: UX design and art direction. Want a grounded report on one?
ok yes UX design
On it — pulling the BLS numbers and AI-exposure lenses for UX Designers now…

Demo conversation. Early student feedback on the live chat: "extremely helpful" — a Minnesota college student, spring 2026. Every career the chat suggests opens with the same grounded data.

The trust beat

AI writes the narrative.
It never writes the numbers.

Every salary, exposure rating, and growth band is overwritten server-side from published research before a student ever sees it. The model can't invent a dollar figure.

"Exposure is a signal of change — not a prediction that a job disappears."

Two independent lenses, shown side by side

Potential task exposure — how much of an occupation's task mix AI could theoretically perform (Tufts Digital Planet, 2026).

Observed AI use — how much AI is actually being used in that occupation today (Anthropic Economic Index, 2026), with Microsoft Research (2025) as pattern corroboration.

Students see both, plus the gap between them — and a plain-language note that exposure is never a proxy for a job's worth. Full methodology: newpaths.ai/methodology

Not just fall. Not just first-years.

Every student arrives
at a decision point.

A cohort code works for any group, any term. Orientation, transfer onboarding, FYE seminars, grad program kickoffs — wherever a 15-minute exploration beat fits.

First-years
Orientation week, before the first major declaration — the engagement record starts at week one.
Transfers
Summer, winter, and spring starts make credit-and-major calls fast — often with the least advising contact of anyone.
Grad & adult learners
Concentration and career-pivot choices with higher stakes and tuition on the line — exploration grounded in real labor data.
The murky middle
Undeclared sophomores at declaration deadlines — the retention-risk group your flags surface by name.
Design-partner pilots · Now enrolling

Put it in front of every incoming student — whenever they start.

A 15-minute exercise in orientation, transfer onboarding, or a grad-program kickoff — the engagement record starts on day one, any term.
