Kentucky ILP mandate
Kentucky's Individual Learning Plan (ILP): Comprehensive Advising from Grade 6
Under 704 KAR 19:002 and 704 KAR 3:305, every student in grades 6–12 must have an Individual Learning Plan established within the first 90 days of 6th grade, focusing on college and career readiness.
In Brief
Kentucky's ILP is a comprehensive advising framework that starts in middle school—specifically, by the 90th day of 6th grade. It brings together coursework, career exploration, and postsecondary planning in one coordinated student profile, emphasizing real engagement with college and career pathways.
The mandate is rooted in a straightforward principle: intentional advising works. By establishing the ILP early and keeping it alive through high school, students make more deliberate decisions about coursework, explore careers more thoughtfully, and leave school with a clearer postsecondary direction.
What ILP actually requires
Checked against 704 KAR 19:002, Section 1(6); 704 KAR 3:305, Section 2(6), not against a category description.

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 Kentucky district or school-level ILP 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.

An ILP must be established within the first 90 days of 6th grade. This early timeline ensures students begin their college and career exploration while still in middle school.
It means the ILP integrates coursework planning, career exploration activities, and postsecondary education/training options into one coordinated plan. It's not a single document, but a structured approach to advising.
The mandate emphasizes career exploration and postsecondary readiness but does not explicitly mandate a single assessment method. Many districts use career assessments (like those from Xello or Kuder) as part of the ILP process, but the regulation allows flexibility in implementation.
While the regulation does not specify a review cadence, best practice is annual review and revision to keep the plan aligned with student interests and emerging postsecondary goals.
Yes. JobCannon's RIASEC, Career Match, and Skills Audit can serve as part of the career exploration component of the ILP, helping students discover their strengths and interests to inform coursework and postsecondary planning.
Kentucky's ILP mandate does not explicitly require a formal career assessment; career exploration and engagement are required, but the method and tool remain flexible at the district level.
