For Educators
DecipherU is a cybersecurity career intelligence platform that provides free psychometric assessments for universities and bootcamps. Help your students discover which cybersecurity career fits their personality, interests, and aptitudes.
Built by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S., using the RIASEC framework mapped to cybersecurity career roles.
For Your Students
Students take a 15-to-20-minute psychometric assessment that matches them to cybersecurity roles based on personality, interests, and aptitudes. No cost for academic use.
Each student receives a Holland Code (RIASEC) career profile specifically mapped to cybersecurity roles. Investigative types might match to threat intelligence. Conventional types might match to GRC.
Students can explore detailed career guides for every major cybersecurity role: salary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, required skills, certification paths, and day-in-the-life descriptions.
Help students set realistic expectations with salary ranges sourced from BLS and CyberSeek. Show them where demand is highest and which roles are growing fastest.
