Grades 9-12 career readiness
Career exploration in grade 9-10, pathway commitment in 10-11, post-secondary readiness in 11-12. RIASEC, Big Five, Skills Audit, Career Match across the four-year arc. CCR indicator evidence, FERPA/COPPA compliant, counsellor playbook included.
JobCannon for High Schools deploys a four-year career-readiness arc across grades 9-12. Grade 9-10 covers career exploration with RIASEC, Multiple Intelligences, and a Skills Audit baseline. Grade 10-11 covers pathway commitment with Big Five (OCEAN), AI Career Match across our 2,536-career knowledge graph, and a Skills Audit re-run. Grade 11-12 covers post-secondary readiness with EQ, Career Guide refinement, and college-major-by-career-fit conversations. Student-facing assessment and Career Guide are free for all educational use; the school administrator dashboard with cohort analytics is on Business tier ($199/mo flat or under district licensing for districts above 50 schools). The platform is FERPA-aligned for school official use, COPPA-compliant for any under-13 students, and GDPR-compliant for international students. ESSA Title IV career-readiness indicator evidence and Perkins V Programme-Quality reporting (where applicable for CTE pathways) are supported via aggregate exports. Counsellor playbook with sequenced session plans, parent-communication templates, and recorded training videos is included; standard rollout is two to four weeks for a single school. Spanish localisation in active build for bilingual school communities.
Designed for the four-year career-readiness arc.
Sequenced for the four-year career-readiness arc.
For a high school of 1,500 students per year
High-school deployment is one of twelve audience landings on the JobCannon for Business hub; school administrators looking at cohort analytics across grades 9-12 use the institutional dashboard, and districts running the same battery across multiple buildings move up to our for-school-districts deployment pattern.
For the regulatory layer, the ESSA career-readiness indicator guide covers Title IV reporting and state CCR submissions, and the FERPA student-data guide documents school-official-use posture; CTE pathway schools also read the Perkins V 2026 indicators guide.
Student access stays free. School administrator dashboard runs on Business tier $199/mo flat for unlimited learners. Districts above 50 schools scope under partnership engagements. ESSA Title IV, Perkins V, and state CCR-indicator funding typically cover the dashboard cost.

The four-year arc breaks into three career-readiness layers. Grade 9-10 (career exploration): RIASEC for interest discovery, Multiple Intelligences for strengths exploration, Skills Audit baseline. Grade 10-11 (pathway commitment): Big Five (OCEAN) for trait depth, AI Career Match for specific career options, Skills Audit re-run to track development. Grade 11-12 (post-secondary readiness): EQ for workforce readiness, Career Guide refinement, college-major-by-career-fit conversations. Counsellors typically run the core battery at grade 9 entry and refresh annually, with the Career Guide maturing across the four years.
Yes. JobCannon provides student-level Career Guide records (career match, skill gap, recommended pathways) that schools use as evidence for ESSA Title IV career-readiness indicators where state plans include them. Aggregate exports are formatted for state CCR (College-and-Career-Ready) indicator reporting. The platform does not replace your state SIS — we feed assessment and Career Guide data into it. Most schools use JobCannon as the assessment-and-evidence layer, with the SIS holding the canonical CCR indicator record.
For schools running CTE (Career and Technical Education) pathways under Perkins V funding, JobCannon supports two specific use cases. (1) Programme-of-Study selection: students run RIASEC, Skills Audit, and Career Match before committing to a Programme of Study, providing evidence the selection was informed and aligned. (2) Programme-Quality reporting: aggregate Career Guide outcomes feed into Perkins V Quality Indicator data, particularly Indicator 5S2 (Career and Technical Education Programme Quality) where applicable. Districts running multi-school CTE programmes can use the cross-school dashboard for programme comparison.
Student-facing assessment and Career Guide are free for all educational use, including high-school deployments. The school administrator dashboard with cohort analytics is on a paid tier (typically $199/mo flat or under district licensing for districts above 50 schools). Many high schools fund the dashboard through Perkins V grants, ESSA Title IV career-readiness funds, or state-level career-readiness budgets. We can provide a quote letter formatted for school procurement.
Most schools running JobCannon integrate it into existing programming rather than adding a separate "JobCannon class." Common placements: 9th-grade homeroom or advisory period for the initial battery, careers fair or 11th-grade options-evening preparation for Career Guide conversations, 12th-grade post-secondary planning for the final pathway-commitment refresh. Schools running a dedicated career-readiness curriculum can use JobCannon as the spine. Schools without dedicated curriculum get a counsellor playbook with sequenced session plans and parent-communication templates.
JobCannon is FERPA-aligned for school official use. For students under 13 (occasional grade 9 cases), COPPA-compliant parental consent flow is available. For schools with international or transfer students from EU jurisdictions, GDPR compliance applies. All data is stored on US Supabase infrastructure with role-based access. Schools sign a Data Processing Agreement covering exactly which student-data fields are collected (assessment answers, Career Guide outcomes, no demographic or PII unless the school chooses to add them). Counsellor access is role-based; students can mark assessment answers as counsellor-private under participant-controlled consent default. See /b2b/guides/ferpa-student-data-career-platform for the full FERPA workflow.
For US students between 13 and 18, parental notification (not consent) is the standard FERPA pattern — schools include JobCannon in their annual directory-information notice, and parents may opt out for their child. For students under 13 (rare in grade 9), COPPA verifiable parental consent applies and the platform exposes a built-in consent flow that schools either pre-collect once per cohort with signed forms or run per student in-platform. For international students from EU/UK jurisdictions, GDPR applies and the school records lawful basis (typically public-task or legitimate-interests under educational purpose) in its data-protection register. The counsellor playbook includes a parent-notification email template aligned with each regulatory regime.
Schools running a structured CCR curriculum use JobCannon as the assessment spine across the four-year arc rather than as a standalone unit. Common placements: 9th-grade homeroom or advisory period for the initial RIASEC + Multiple Intelligences battery, 10th-grade ELA cross-curricular for Skills Audit reflection writing, 11th-grade options-evening preparation for Career Match conversations, 12th-grade post-secondary planning for the EQ + Career Guide refinement. Schools without a dedicated CCR curriculum get a counsellor playbook with sequenced session plans for each grade. The platform satisfies state CCR indicator assessment requirements where state plans include them.
Yes. The assessment flow is designed to be IDEA-friendly: extended-time accommodation is built in (no time pressure, pause-resume across sessions), questions are at concrete-behaviour reading level rather than abstract self-concepts (which helps students with reading-comprehension or executive-function differences), and the Career Guide output uses plain-language descriptions appropriate for IEP transition planning. For students with IEP transition goals (mandatory from age 16 under IDEA), the Career Guide functions as transition-assessment evidence and supports Indicator 14 post-secondary outcomes data collection. Counsellors can flag assessments as IEP-aligned in the dashboard for transition-team review.
