Career Coach is a platform designed to help learners explore career and academic pathways that align with their interests and skills. It provides a single platform for career and academic exploration, featuring interest assessments for undecided students or those exploring new careers, and skills inventories for learners looking to explore careers that match their existing skill sets. The platform offers guided career exploration based on interests, skill sets, or keyword searches, and recommends educational offerings that align with a learner’s target career. It also integrates local job postings and vetted opportunities with industry partners.
