About the team behind Pathfinder

Section 3 - Team 8

The BYU Information Systems Pathfinder development team

Built to make the first step easier

We built this to help incoming IS students address two challenges:

  1. They are unaware of the full range of IS career paths, often defaulting to a narrow view of what the degree leads to and not deciding on what they want to do until their last semester.
  2. They are underprepared for the technical and behavioral components of internship and job interviews.
