It only takes about 30 minutes for service members to make a move for their future.


DANTES funds the Kuder Journey, a program which offers tailored career guidance.


Effective career planning starts with finding out what a person's interests are, what he or she is confident doing or skilled in, and what's important to that person's work values.


The assessments are valuable in helping narrow the search and considering options which may not have been previously considered.


Kuder Journey is provided free to active duty, Guard, and Reserve service members only.


Whether at the beginning, middle, or transition stage of their military career, service members can access the free, lifetime resource, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. The account never expires, as long as registered and on active duty.


The program allows the user to build an account based on immediate needs, then make updates once needs have been met or have changed.


Retirees, family members, and civilians can purchase a lifetime user code for $35 by contacting Kuder Customer Support at support@kuder.com or 877-999-6227.


The program guides service members through an easy process which provides reliable and effective career or college planning and development.


The flexible process allows users to complete the five steps in any order to meet their immediate needs: assessments; occupations; education and financial aid; job search tools; and jobs.


Where to get started? In three easy steps service members can register and take all three assessments.
