Built for community colleges
Free assessments and Career Guide for every student. Counsellor dashboard with transfer pathway, credential ladder, and local salary data. Perkins V and WIOA grant-friendly procurement.
JobCannon for Community Colleges supports career orientation, transfer pathway planning, and workforce-development intake for two-year institutions. The student-facing assessment battery (RIASEC, Big Five, Skills Audit, Career Match, IQ) is free for educational use; counsellor and workforce-development dashboards run on the Business tier ($199/mo flat) or under a custom partnership. The platform integrates with SSO (Google, Microsoft, SAML) on free tier, with full Assessment API for SIS write-back (Banner, Workday Student, PeopleSoft) on partnership engagements. Adult-learner mode highlights transferable skills from work history, credential ladders to four-year transfer, and fast-track certificate programmes. Used for Perkins V programme-of-study planning, WIOA workforce partnerships, TAA trade-affected worker support, and state-level workforce-development budgets. Pilots active in California, Texas, and Ohio.

Yes. The default consumer flow is calibrated for ages 14 and up but tone and item language work for adult learners. The community-college variant adds a "returning learner" preset that surfaces transferable skills from prior work experience, identifies fast-track credential pathways, and pulls salary data for the local labour market via O*NET. Adults returning to study after five-plus years find the Skills Audit and Career Match particularly useful — they discover their work history maps to credentials they have not heard of.
After a student completes Career Match, the Career Guide shows the credential ladder for their top three matches: associate degree → bachelor → optional graduate. Each rung shows estimated salary, required courses, and which four-year institutions accept transfer credits in the relevant programmes. Counsellors export this as a printable transfer-planning document for student-advisor meetings.
Most community colleges use the lightweight integration: students sign up via SSO (Google, Microsoft, or institutional SAML), assessment results sync to a counsellor dashboard, no full SIS write-back. For colleges that need write-back into Banner, Workday Student, or PeopleSoft, the Assessment API is available on the Business tier, with custom integration on partnership engagements. Webhooks fire on every Career Guide completion.
O*NET tools are excellent foundational research and we cite them throughout. The differences are: (1) closed loop — CareerOneStop tells you what a career pays; JobCannon tells you which courses at your college lead to that career and which skills the student is currently missing; (2) campus-aware — JobCannon counsellor dashboards let advisors see where students are in their pathway, not just static career profiles; (3) cohort analytics — workforce-development directors see programme-level outcomes (which Career Match recommendations cluster around our certificate programmes vs send students to four-year transfer).
Yes — most community colleges fund the dashboard through Perkins V (programme of study planning), WIOA (workforce-development partnerships), TAA grants for trade-affected workers, or state-level workforce-development budgets. We provide a quote letter and outcomes-rationale document formatted for grant submissions. Many colleges have run the free student tier for a semester, then gone back for grant funding for the dashboard once impact was demonstrated.
Strong fit. Workforce-development directors use JobCannon as the front door for non-credit programme intake — students take RIASEC + Skills Audit, the platform recommends the best-fit certificate programmes the college offers, and the workforce office gets a leads dashboard. This typically improves enrolment in under-recruited certificate programmes by 15-30 percent within a semester.
