Indiana mandate
Indiana Graduation Plan (IC § 20-30-4-2)
Indiana Code § 20-30-4-2 requires a Graduation Plan developed with a school counselor and parent by the end of 8th grade, aligning coursework and interests to post-secondary goals.
In Brief
Indiana's Graduation Plan is a statutory requirement grounded in consultation: every student must develop a plan with a school counselor and parent by the end of 8th grade, addressing their interests, aptitudes, and postsecondary goals. The plan acknowledges the importance of citizenship, attendance, and study habits; identifies subject and skill areas of interest; and outlines a program of study for grades 10–12 that meets those interests and goals. Once completed, the plan becomes part of the student's permanent school record (FERPA-accessible to parents), ensuring continuity and accountability across the high school years.
The emphasis on counselor-student-parent collaboration creates a natural role for career assessments: they provide objective, evidence-based data to ground the conversation, ensuring the plan reflects the student's real interests and aptitudes, not assumptions. JobCannon's results help counselors facilitate meaningful planning conversations and give students and parents a common language for discussing strengths and goals.

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 Indiana district or school-level 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.

Career assessments create a shared understanding. JobCannon's RIASEC and Skills Audit can be administered in 7th or early 8th grade, giving the counselor, student, and parents time to reflect on results before the planning meeting. Everyone enters the conversation with the same data, making the dialogue more focused and productive.
Indiana has both a statutory Graduation Plan (IC § 20-30-4-2) and a complementary ICAP initiative (grades 6–12). The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably by districts; the statutory plan is the legal requirement, while ICAP describes the broader framework. JobCannon assessments support both, providing the career-interest and skills data each one needs.
JobCannon's RIASEC identifies career clusters and the skills associated with each. For example, a student with high Realistic and Investigative interests might have STEM and engineering skills; one with Social and Enterprising interests might have leadership and communication skills. These specific skill identifications from the assessment directly populate the 'subject and skill areas' section.
The plan must be documented and FERPA-accessible to parents. JobCannon's printable Career Guide and assessment results can be scanned or uploaded into your student information system alongside the written Graduation Plan. This ensures both the plan and the assessment foundation are available to all staff and accessible to parents throughout the student's high school career.
Yes. While the original plan is developed by the end of 8th grade, it is a working document. If a student's interests or post-secondary goals shift in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, the plan is updated to reflect the change, and the updated version is documented in the permanent record. JobCannon's re-assessments can provide updated data to support these revisions.
Indiana does not require middle-school planning before grade 8—the Graduation Plan mandate begins in 8th grade, though early career exploration is beneficial.
