In 2013, the company launched Latitude, a two-hour online assessment which measures on interests and abilities providing a report on appropriate careers.

History

In 2015, in response to advocacy from state lawmaker Lindsey Tippins, the state of Georgia gave 20,000 high school sophomores access to the test. In the fall of 2017, the Metro Nashville Public Schools district began using the company's tests as on about 4,000 freshmen students, as part of a $30,000 pilot program. In February 2018, it was reported that leaders of some manufacturing and building companies in Georgia were using YouScience tests to recruit young workers.

Products

The test consists of an aptitudes section, in which participants complete brief exercises, sometimes referred to as "brain games", with a time limit. The other half of the test is the interests section, which involves asking participants to answer questions about themselves. Each participant then receives a resulting list of skills and jobs for which they might be well-suited. When the company studied its test results, it found that most students had aptitude for manufacturing and technology jobs, but few had an interest in them. The company says it worked with the Chicago, Illinois-based Ball Foundation to develop its career assessment test based on research dating back to at least World War II.
