Built for ages 13-18
Career discovery that teens actually want to do.
Quick mobile-friendly assessments for after-school programmes, summer camps, and mentorship initiatives. Teen-mode reading level, COPPA-compliant for under-13 access, no per-participant fee.
In Brief
JobCannon for Youth Programs supports career-discovery work in after-school clubs, summer camps, mentorship programmes, and out-of-school-time providers. The teen-calibrated assessment battery (Multiple Intelligences, Spirit Animal, RIASEC, Career Match) targets ages 13-18 at a Grade 6-7 reading level with optional age-appropriate variants for 11-13 year olds. The platform is mobile-first with a low-bandwidth mode for under-resourced settings. Career Match recommendations include free and low-cost training pathways alongside four-year university routes so suggestions feel attainable. COPPA-compliant parental consent flow for under-13 access. Mentor and programme-director dashboards provide journey views and aggregate cohort patterns without exposing raw psychometric answers. Standard six-week deployment structure (ice-breaker → career frame → career exploration → mentor skill-building) gives a programme something to run week by week instead of a single career talk. Built for after-school networks, youth charities, and mentorship programmes. No per-participant fee.

Yes. The teen-mode reading level sits at Grade 6-7 with examples and language tested with US and UK youth-program partners. Heavier psychometric instruments (Big Five, Career Match) work cleanly from age 13 with adult facilitation; lighter instruments (Multiple Intelligences, Spirit Animal, Career Cluster Quiz) work from age 11 unsupervised. The Career Guide output is graphical-first with stories rather than data tables, which keeps engagement high in this age group.
Standard 6-week deployment: week one ice-breaker assessments (Spirit Animal, Multiple Intelligences) introduce self-awareness vocabulary; week two RIASEC sets the career-exploration frame; week three Career Match opens the career database for project work; weeks four-six are mentor-led skill-building tied to top career matches. The point of the structure is that every week has its own artefact to work from, instead of one career talk a participant either attended or did not.
Yes, with explicit teen consent and parent notification. The default privacy posture is participant-controlled — the teen sees their own results immediately, and a mentor sees results only after the teen explicitly consents during the assessment flow. For programmes serving under-13 participants, parental consent is required upfront. This consent flow is a feature, not a workaround — a teen who knows the mentor cannot see the result until they say so is answering the questions honestly rather than managing an audience.
The platform is mobile-first by design and works on any phone with a data connection. There is a low-bandwidth mode for assessment delivery in areas with intermittent connectivity. Career Match recommendations include free or low-cost training pathways (community college, free online courses, apprenticeships) alongside four-year-university paths, so the recommendations feel realistic rather than aspirational-only. A teenager who is told the only route is a four-year degree they cannot pay for stops reading; a route through a community college or an apprenticeship is one they can act on this year.
Under-13 access requires verifiable parental consent before assessment delivery. We provide a COPPA-compliant consent flow including parent email verification, a plain-English consent description, and a no-cost opt-out at any time. For programmes serving 11-13 year olds, the assessment battery is restricted to age-appropriate instruments (Multiple Intelligences, Career Cluster, Strengths Spotter) and excludes adult-validated instruments like Big Five.
Mentors get a participant journey view: assessments completed, top career matches, skills the participant identified as wanting to build, and self-reported confidence. The view is read-only and does not show raw psychometric answers — only outcomes. Mentors use it to anchor 1:1 conversations and to celebrate progress at programme close. Programme directors get aggregate dashboards showing cohort-level patterns.
