Connecticut career standards crosswalk
Connecticut Comprehensive K–12 School Counseling Framework Guide (Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), developed with the Connecticut School Counselor Association (CSCA) and the Connecticut Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (CACES)) covers grades 6-8 in 6 groups and 18 criteria. 3 are evidenced directly by something the platform produces, 6 more are supported by a named result plus teacher-led classroom work, and we make no claim on the other 9. The two claimed groups are never added into one number.
Connecticut compels a middle-grades career plan by law. Indirect but real. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 10-221a requires each local and regional board of education to ensure students develop a Student Success Plan beginning no later than grade 6, and CSDE directs districts to this Framework's content as the means of satisfying that duty. Verified across three independent corroborating sources after first-party legislative sources (cga.ct.gov, law.justia.com, casetext.com) all failed to fetch: a WebSearch synthesis of the Justia mirror, a FindLaw fetch that additionally supplied the operative subsection letter "(k)," and a Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) model board policy PDF (cabe.org, sample policy 6146, rev. 9/23) that restates the same statutory duty for district adoption. No first-party statute text was independently read the way the Framework PDF itself was.
The standard itself: Connecticut Comprehensive K–12 School Counseling Framework Guide, published by Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), developed with the Connecticut School Counselor Association (CSCA) and the Connecticut Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (CACES), grades 6-8. Three domains, six standards (C1-C6) total, modeled on the ASCA National Model 4th edition (2019). Each standard is one umbrella statement followed by a flush, unnumbered bullet list specific to the 6-8 grade band (of five grade bands the Framework covers); 18 bullets total across the six standards (C1:3, C2:4, C3:4, C4:3, C5:3, C6:1).
Below is every one of its 18 criteria, what closes each, and what a student walks away with — 3 evidenced directly, 6 supported via lesson plan, 9 not claimed. The 3 directly-evidenced criteria and the 6 lesson-supported ones stay separate on purpose — merging them into one headline would flatter the platform at your expense.
Every criterion, what closes it, and what a student walks away with.

The two claimed counts stay separate on purpose — merging platform-evidenced and teacher-supported criteria into one number would flatter the platform at your expense.
C1 through C6 are Connecticut's own domain-level codes, printed in the source. The state does not further sub-number the grade-band bullets beneath each standard — the per-bullet suffix used on this page (e.g. "C1-2") is JobCannon's own addition for readability, not a code Connecticut prints.
Take an updated career interest inventory and identify potential careers of interest.
/assessments/riasec, /assessments/career-match
Interest inventory result with matched career options
Identify personal abilities, skills, and interests and how they relate to their chosen careers.
/assessments/riasec, /assessments/career-match, /assessments/skills-audit
Ability, skills and interest results
Relating those results to a specific chosen career is the classroom's step; the platform supplies the raw self-data.
Identify personal values important to career choice.
/assessments/values
Values result
Research and present three jobs from the career interest inventory, noting why they are interested in these careers.
/assessments/riasec, /assessments/career-match
The matched career-interest-inventory results the student researches and presents from
Presenting three jobs and explaining the interest in each is the student's own work; the platform supplies the inventory and matched careers it draws from.
Research postsecondary education requirements for chosen career as well as skills needed in order to plan for postsecondary options.

No JobCannon surface addresses this criterion. We are not naming a workaround for it.
Assess academic strengths and weaknesses, interests and aptitudes.
/assessments/big-five, /assessments/skills-audit, /assessments/riasec
Strengths, interest and aptitude results
The assessments measure personal, not specifically academic, strengths and interests, and don't separately assess weaknesses — the academic framing is the classroom's to apply.
Understand the importance of attendance and punctuality and how it relates to the workplace.
/assessments/work-ethics
Punctuality/dependability-related result
Explaining why attendance and punctuality matter in a workplace is the classroom's; the assessment supplies where the student currently stands on those traits.

Four rules, applied to every one of Connecticut's 18 criteria.
Grouped by the criteria each one actually closes — read from the rows, not chosen for the page.
Two district contracts as published in board papers — one covering a single school year, one a five-year agreement — beside our per-student rate for one academic year
This is Connecticut's page in a set of state career-standards crosswalks built the same way — every criterion of a state's own document, matched one at a time, with what we do not claim listed as plainly as what we do. The most detailed of them is Arizona's grades 6-8 eCTE crosswalk, which carries a per-row evidence trail and four documented revision passes. The others: Texas, California, Utah, Illinois, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Washington, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii and Arkansas.
A career-standards document is not the same thing as a plan-completion mandate — for whether Connecticut compels an individual student plan, and under which statute, see our career and education plan mandate directory. For the wider grades 6-8 deployment this crosswalk sits inside, see JobCannon for Middle Schools, or career assessments for school districts for a multi-school rollout. Both are part of the JobCannon for Business hub.
Scale is $199/mo and covers 200 assessments per billing period — the same unit as any school or district deployment. Where the crosswalk above is the evidentiary piece a procurement review needs, the Education Licence below prices your whole grade band per student for the year, assessments uncapped.

One rate per enrolled student for the academic year, sized for Connecticut district or school-level rollouts. Assessments uncapped, career and skills corpus included — multiply your own enrolment by the band and that is the price, before you talk to us.
$3.00 down to $2.00 per student, per year — assessments uncapped
A large school, multi-school district or trust
A university, college or college group
A statewide or national programme
£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 there is no licence to quote: a roll that small is better served by a self-serve plan, and that is the one case where a plan covers a school’s own students — UK schools have the flat whole-school licence 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.

Connecticut compels a middle-grades career plan by law. Indirect but real. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 10-221a requires each local and regional board of education to ensure students develop a Student Success Plan beginning no later than grade 6, and CSDE directs districts to this Framework's content as the means of satisfying that duty. Verified across three independent corroborating sources after first-party legislative sources (cga.ct.gov, law.justia.com, casetext.com) all failed to fetch: a WebSearch synthesis of the Justia mirror, a FindLaw fetch that additionally supplied the operative subsection letter "(k)," and a Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) model board policy PDF (cabe.org, sample policy 6146, rev. 9/23) that restates the same statutory duty for district adoption.

Connecticut Comprehensive K–12 School Counseling Framework Guide, published by Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), developed with the Connecticut School Counselor Association (CSCA) and the Connecticut Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (CACES), grades 6-8. PDF dated November 2020 on its title page; cross-checked against the live HTML mirror at portal.ct.gov/SDE/School-Counseling/Comprehensive-K-12-School-Counseling-Framework, which was consistent but carries no date of its own. Built on the ASCA National Model, 4th edition (2019). Three domains, six standards (C1-C6) total, modeled on the ASCA National Model 4th edition (2019). Each standard is one umbrella statement followed by a flush, unnumbered bullet list specific to the 6-8 grade band (of five grade bands the Framework covers); 18 bullets total across the six standards (C1:3, C2:4, C3:4, C4:3, C5:3, C6:1).
It means the platform itself produces the artefact the criterion asks for, with nothing a teacher has to add. 3 criteria of the 18 are closed this way: C1-1, C1-3 and C5-2. Each of those rows names the surface and the artefact, and several carry a coverage caveat — how many careers actually hold the field being claimed — because a reviewer will check.
It means the platform supplies the data or the assessment result and a teacher runs the classroom half — it is weaker, and it is labelled separately for that reason. 6 criteria are closed this way: C1-2, C2-1, C2-2, C2-4, C3-1 and C5-1. A plan a system wrote for the student would not satisfy the standard, and claiming it would not be worth much either.
Because the 3 and the 6 are different kinds of evidence — one is work the software does on its own, the other is work a teacher does with something the software supplies — and merging them into one headline number would flatter the platform at your expense. Every row states which of the two it is, and the counts are shown as separate pills rather than added together.
We make no claim on them. No JobCannon surface — assessment, career-page field or glossary entry — addresses them, and they are listed exactly as plainly as the 9 we do claim: same row format, same visual weight, a stated "not claimed" rather than an absence.
C1 through C6 are Connecticut's own domain-level codes, printed in the source. The state does not further sub-number the grade-band bullets beneath each standard — the per-bullet suffix used on this page (e.g. "C1-2") is JobCannon's own addition for readability, not a code Connecticut prints.
November 2020 PDF, the only dated version found; the live HTML mirror was spot-checked as consistent but is itself undated. The document itself is linked at the top of the table, so you can check any row against the source rather than take our word for it.
