Career assessment & readiness for institutions
Validated career-interest assessment, AI matching across thousands of careers, cohort onboarding, and a district dashboard. For schools, colleges, and workforce programs. 88 tests, COPPA-compliant, from $0.
JobCannon for Institutions is the career-assessment and guidance layer for schools, colleges, and workforce programs: 88 validated assessments, AI career-matching across thousands of careers, cohort onboarding, and an administrator dashboard, from $0/mo. Core institutional assessments are RIASEC / Holland Codes (the career-interest standard used by O*NET), Career Match (AI match across the careers catalog), Multiple Intelligences (a week-one engagement assessment), Skills Audit (workforce-readiness baseline), and Big Five for older cohorts. Onboarding supports CSV upload, class codes (no student email required — COPPA-compliant for under-13), and SSO via Google, Microsoft, Clever, and ClassLink. Administrators see completion tracking, interest and archetype distribution, skill-gap rollups, and exportable evidence aligned to Perkins V, WIOA, and NACE career-readiness frameworks. It is a modern, lower-cost alternative to full college-and-career-readiness suites — Naviance, Xello, SchooLinks, YouScience, Scoir — for the assessment-and-guidance job, while institutions keep their existing SIS. Use cases: middle-to-high-school transition, high-school pathway choice, community-college and vocational program intake, and workforce / out-of-school-youth program enrolment.

A career readiness assessment measures a student or participant's interests, strengths, and work-style so an advisor can guide next steps — course selection, pathway choice, a first job, or a training program. Institutions deploy them at intake (to baseline a cohort), at decision points (8th-to-9th grade transition, end of a workforce program), and for reporting (Perkins V, WIOA, NACE career-readiness competencies). JobCannon's RIASEC and Career Match map a participant to real careers and the skills behind them, so the result is a conversation starter, not a dead-end score.
Those are full college-and-career-readiness suites with deep transcript, application, and scholarship modules — and district price tags ($10-50k/year, often $5-10 per student). JobCannon is the assessment-and-guidance layer: 88 validated tests, AI career-matching across thousands of careers, cohort onboarding, and a district dashboard, starting at $0 and topping out far below those suites. If you need full SIS-integrated application tracking, the incumbents do more; if you need fast, validated, engaging career-interest assessment that students actually finish, that is precisely our lane. Many programs run us alongside their existing SIS.
Yes. Class-code onboarding means students never need to supply an email — the COPPA-compliant default for under-13 cohorts. Assessments are self-report and age-appropriate, anonymous test-taking is supported, and we operate under GDPR / UK-GDPR plus FERPA-aware data handling for US schools. Districts get a data-processing agreement on partnership engagements. We never sell student data.
Three patterns, mix and match: CSV upload (paste a roster, branded invites send automatically), class codes (a six-digit code students enter — instant, no email), and SSO via Google Workspace, Microsoft, Clever, or ClassLink. A 500-student cohort imports in about five minutes; class-code cohorts start in seconds. Cohorts carry tags (grade, school site, program, funding source) that drive every dashboard filter and reporting cut. See bulk access for the full mechanics.
Completion tracking per participant and per group, archetype and interest distribution across a cohort, skill-gap rollups, and exportable reports for board meetings and grant evidence. District admins running multiple schools tag by site; workforce boards tag by grant ID. Reporting cuts align to the frameworks programs already report against (Perkins V, WIOA, NACE).
