Technology has transformed the way students learn and succeed. SchooLinks is at the forefront of innovation – bringing the latest technology and user experience to power a true student-centric college and career planning experience. From educating younger learners about potential careers, helping them explore and apply to colleges, or finding that entry-level position to jumpstart a career, SchooLinks can support your entire district. See what the students have done in real-time (activities, assessments, favorites, notes on colleges, college and career goals, etc.), to see a student’s trajectory and interests in their plans. If preparing students for the real world, you need to involve the world. Invite partners to participate in events and track their participation and student excitement in a single platform. By using the same system for state readiness indicators and compliance, you can free up your staff’s time on students instead of manual data tracking. Keeping parents informed and everyone on the same page is an important piece of post-secondary planning. SchooLinks’ Family Engagement portal allows parents to explore their students’ pathways, keep track of their progress, and communicate with counselors.
