How will this tool be beneficial for me?

Evolve will help you develop a career path based on your values, skills, strengths, and interests. It will provide insight on the unique contributions you bring to work each day and can guide you toward learning and growth experiences to broaden and finetune your skill set.

What's the difference between this and a robust LinkedIn profile?

LinkedIn is a platform for external companies looking for talent. We want to retain our talent and grow your career here!

Is the AI powering Evolve ethical?
Will any of the Evolve data become available outside of OIT/UCI, i.e. will any of this potentially be available to public search engines or non UC entities either now or in the future?

No, this is a closed system. It is only available to our active employees.

How do we know our privacy is being protected by this platform?

In order to ensure the policies and technical controls operate, Fuel50 conducts annual penetration tests and implements a vulnerability management process where different monitoring tools trigger notifications to treat vulnerabilities that might impact the Fuel50 production environment.

I've completed all three modules. Now what?

Congrats and great job! We recommend that you have a conversation with your supervisor about your Evolve results and potential career journeys during your next one to one meeting. We’d also LOVE to get your feedback on your journey so far. You can email us at evolve@uci.edu. And, stay tuned — more modules are coming in 2023-2024!

Is the platform accessible?

The site is WCAG compliant.

Can I or should I retake the exercises?

Yes, please feel free to retake exercises at any time.

Is the tool available in different languages?

Currently no. If there is a high demand, we can request and budget for it.

Personalize

Will my responses to the Personalize exercises be used to evaluate me?

We understand it is a vulnerable experience to share information about your personal values. Rest assured that this is only to help determine your own path here at OIT, and results will not be used as a performance evaluation tool.

I would like to add my own talents, how do I do this?

You can search and add additional talents from the search bar on the right. We encourage you to add as many of your talents as you can.

How do I know what level to rate myself as?

You will find a description for each skill under the rating options. Choose the level you feel most closely aligned with at this current stage in your career.

Journeys

How many Journeys should I save?

You can save as many Journeys as you would like. Remember that targeting a journey is not a commitment to that career journey either to yourself, your manager, or OIT. It is meant to spark ideas and inspire you to consider growing in new ways.

What if my Journey suggestions don't resonate with me?

Evolve’s suggestions are just a small taste of what your career journey could look like! You can search for roles via the top search bar and manually add them to your profile for additional options.

What if I don't want to plan my career journey quite yet? I'm still learning and adjusting to my current role.

Great news, future modules will allow you to grow additional skills in a hands-on way. For now, use Journeys as a brainstorming exercise to give you a head start in mapping out your career, with no strings attached. If and when you are ready to plan your next move, you will have a solid starting off point.

When viewing roles why do I see someone else's icon?

When a role has more than one person, the system rotates through everyone’s icon. This is an indicator that there are other people with the same job classification in our organization.
