SchoolLinks
SchoolLinks
SchoolLinks an interactive college and career readiness platform that gives students the opportunity to discover their interests and strengths, explore careers and career pathways, research colleges and training programs, and set goals for their future.
Students begin using SchoolLinks in 6th grade and continue to use it through high school. SchoolLinks helps students discover their interests and strengths and prepare them for what comes after graduation. This platform is also used to house a student's Individualized Learning Plan (ILP), also known as a 4-year plan. Families also have access to this tool and can create an account which is linked to their student's account. Families can use the tool to research careers and colleges, and may also view their student's career exploration assessment results. If you have questions about using SchooLinks, please reach out to your child's school counselor.
Understand Options Beyond High School
Whether it is starting college, learning a skilled trade, joining the military, or pursuing another postsecondary option, we have assigned grade-specific activities in SchooLinks to help you and your student explore postsecondary options and make informed decisions.
Self-Discovery Assessments
Self-discovery gives students opportunities to explore their interests and begin documenting their interests and personality traits in a comprehensive portfolio. A bundle of interactive activities and surveys are available to help guide your student to discover what makes them stand out, and to reflect on, learn about, and bookmark their favorite careers.
