Georgia IGP mandate
Georgia's Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) with Required Career Inventories
O.C.G.A. § 20-2-327 requires all students in grades 6–12 to develop an IGP by the end of 8th grade, informed by career interest and career demand inventories.
In Brief
Georgia mandates an Individual Graduation Plan for all students in grades 6–12, with explicit career assessment requirements. The statute calls for career interest and career demand inventories in grades 6–8, making career assessment non-negotiable in Georgia. Each student's IGP must be developed in consultation with a parent or guardian by the end of the 8th-grade year, based on the student's academic skills, career-oriented aptitudes, and career interests. The IGP then informs 9th-grade course scheduling and is reviewed annually and revised as appropriate with student and parent approval.
Georgia's statutory language—explicitly naming 'career interest and career demand inventories'—reflects a sophisticated understanding that student aspiration and market reality must both inform graduation planning. JobCannon's RIASEC assessment captures career interest; paired with labor-market data or industry trend research, it satisfies Georgia's dual requirement. The state's support through GCIS and GAfutures resources amplifies this mandate across districts.

District-tier pricing
Scale is $199/mo and covers 200 people per billing period — one person, however many assessments they take, and a class-code arrival counts the same as an emailed invite. Growth is $999/mo for 1,000. Above that, or where enrolment should not be metered at all, it is an Enterprise conversation rather than a larger self-serve plan. A district-sized enrolment runs out of the monthly tiers quickly — the Education Licence below prices your whole enrolment per student for the year, assessments uncapped, and adds the full career and skills corpus.

Education Licence — priced per student, per year
One rate per enrolled student for the academic year, sized for Georgia district or school-level IGP rollouts. Assessments uncapped, career and skills corpus included — multiply your own enrolment by the band and you have the most this can cost before you talk to us.
$1.25 down to $0.80 per student, per year — assessments uncapped
That multiplication is a ceiling, not a bill. If our self-serve plans would cover the same number of students for less, you are quoted the lower figure — we do not sell an institution its own students back at a higher price than anyone can buy them for on the pricing page.

£350 per school, per year — a flat whole-school licence rather than a per-student rate, because that is the unit UK schools budget in. Same uncapped assessments and same corpus. Excludes VAT.
The ladder starts at 1,301 students. Below that a self-serve plan already covers your whole roll for less than a licence would, so that is what we will point you at — and UK schools have the flat whole-school licence above at any size. Bands are by enrolment, and the rate applies to your whole roll rather than to a seat count you have to predict. Invoiced annually against a purchase order; no per-assessment charge and nothing to top up mid-year. Assessing an institution's enrolled students is covered by the Education Licence, not by a hiring plan. What is in the corpus.

Georgia's statute calls for 'career interest and career demand inventories' but does not prescribe a single tool. JobCannon's RIASEC assessment captures career interests with validated, detailed results. When paired with labor-market or industry-demand research (available through GCIS and GAfutures), this combination satisfies Georgia's dual inventory requirement.
The IGP must be completed by the end of 8th grade and is reviewed annually in 9th–12th grades with revisions as appropriate. JobCannon's assessments can be administered in 6th or 7th grade to inform the 8th-grade IGP development, and then revisited in later years to track evolving career interests and inform annual revisions.
Absolutely. Georgia's statute explicitly states that the IGP 'is considered when scheduling 9th grade courses.' JobCannon's career and skills data help counselors recommend appropriate academic pathways and electives that align with each student's interests, career aptitudes, and post-secondary goals.
JobCannon's printable Career Guide PDF and bulk-invite feature allow counselors to share assessment results with parents electronically or by print. Parents can review results, discuss with the student at home, and provide written input or consent. This asynchronous approach ensures every parent can participate in IGP development.
The IGP is designed to be revised annually. If a student's career interests shift, the plan is updated to reflect the new direction. JobCannon's assessments can be re-administered to capture updated interests, or existing results can be reviewed and discussed with the student and parent to agree on revised goals.
Georgia does not leave career assessment optional—career interest and career demand inventories are explicitly required in grades 6–8 as part of the IGP mandate.
