Built for Perkins V CTE concentrators

Indicator 2S2 evidence. Free for CTE concentrators. State-submission-ready exports.

Career assessment platform aligned to the 16 National Career Clusters. Concentrator-level completion records, aggregate cohort exports for state CTE office, special-population disaggregation. Funded under Perkins V Section 135 program improvement.

In Brief

JobCannon for Perkins V CTE Reporting deploys career-readiness assessments aligned to the 16 National Career Clusters across secondary and postsecondary CTE concentrators. The platform contributes to Indicator 2S2 (CTE Concentrator Performance on Career Readiness) by producing documented assessment-completion records, with timestamps and concentrator-level outcome data, that LEAs and CTE consortia include in state CTE office submissions. Each cluster gets a recommended battery (Health Science: RIASEC, Big Five, EQ, healthcare-weighted Career Match; STEM: adds IQ and Numerical Reasoning; Trade and Industrial: Multiple Intelligences and trade-weighted Career Match). Secondary and postsecondary cohorts are tagged separately. Special-population disaggregation supported via LEA-set demographic tagging. CSV export formatted for state data warehouses; we do not transmit on your behalf. Funding under Perkins V Section 135 program improvement is well-supported by allowability rules; we provide a procurement quote letter for your CTE coordinator. Concentrator access is free; LEA dashboard is $199/mo Business tier or partnership for multi-LEA consortia.

What CTE coordinators get

Cluster-aligned, concentrator-tracked, state-submission-ready.

Cluster-mapped batteries
Each of the 16 National Career Clusters has a default assessment battery — Health Science adds EQ, STEM adds IQ and Numerical Reasoning, Trade and Industrial leans on Multiple Intelligences. Configurable at the program-of-study level.
Concentrator-level evidence
Per-concentrator completion records with timestamps, RIASEC code, and primary archetype suitable for 2S2 narrative evidence and state audit response.
Special-population disaggregation
LEA-set demographic tags (economically disadvantaged, IDEA-eligible, English learner, single parent, out-of-workforce) filter aggregate exports for Section 113(b)(3)(C) reporting.
State submission CSV
Export formatted for CALPADS, SLDS, EdFacts, and state-specific data warehouses. Your state office runs the upload; we provide the clean concentrator file.

Cluster-specific assessment batteries

Defaults per National Career Cluster, configurable at program-of-study level.

Health Science
Allied health, nursing prep
Trade & Industrial
Skilled trades, manufacturing

FAQ

How does this satisfy Indicator 2S1 and 2S2 evidence requirements?

Indicator 2S1 (Academic Proficiency) is academic — JobCannon does not satisfy 2S1 directly. The platform contributes to 2S2 (CTE Concentrator Performance on Career Readiness) by providing documented assessment completion records that show concentrators engaging with career-readiness instruments — RIASEC for occupational self-knowledge, Skills Audit for 21st-century skills baseline, and Career Match against the 2,536-career knowledge graph aligned to O*NET. The platform produces concentrator-level records with timestamps and aggregate cohort exports your state CTE office can include in the consolidated annual report.

How do CTE program-of-study clusters map to assessment batteries?

Each of the 16 National Career Cluster pathways gets a recommended assessment battery. Health Science concentrators run RIASEC, Big Five, EQ, and Career Match weighted toward healthcare. STEM clusters add IQ and Numerical Reasoning. Trade and Industrial run Multiple Intelligences (kinesthetic and spatial relevance) and Career Match weighted toward skilled trades. The mapping is configurable; we ship sensible defaults per cluster and your CTE coordinator can adjust at the program level.

What about secondary versus postsecondary CTE concentrators?

Secondary CTE concentrators (high school grades 11-12 typically) and postsecondary concentrators (community college and trade school) are tagged in separate cohorts with different default batteries. Secondary leans on Multiple Intelligences and exploration; postsecondary leans on Skills Audit and Career Match for placement readiness. Reports stay separated for state submission since 2S indicators report separately for the secondary and postsecondary pots.

Does this integrate with our state CTE data system?

CSV export, not direct API integration. Your state CTE office likely runs a CALPADS, SLDS, EdFacts, or state-specific data warehouse. We export concentrator-level CSV in fields most state offices map cleanly: student ID (your assignment), cluster, program of study, assessment ID, completion timestamp, RIASEC code, primary archetype. Your state submission workflow handles the upload. We do not transmit data to state systems on your behalf.

How does pricing fit Perkins V allowable costs?

Perkins V allows assessment platforms as part of Section 135(b) program improvement and Section 135(c)(2) career-development supports. Most CTE consortia fund the Business tier ($199/mo flat for unlimited concentrators) under Section 135 program improvement. Local Education Agencies running CTE programmes typically code it under career-readiness or CTE program operations. We provide a procurement quote letter referencing Section 135 allowability for your CTE coordinator to attach to the LEA application.

What about CTE special populations reporting?

Perkins V Section 113(b)(3)(C) requires disaggregated reporting for special populations — economically disadvantaged, individuals with disabilities, English learners, single parents, out-of-workforce individuals, and others. JobCannon supports optional demographic tagging (set by the LEA, not collected from the participant) so aggregate exports can be filtered to special-population cohorts. The platform does not collect demographic data from participants directly; you tag concentrator records inside the dashboard from the data you already maintain in SIS.
