How MajorClarity and Edmentum Career Deliver End-to-End College and Career Readiness

For years, K-12 districts have faced a persistent challenge: connecting state policies for career and technical education (CTE) and career-connected learning (CCL)—along with your own ambitious vision for well-rounded college and career readiness—with solutions that make implementation scalable at the local level. Fragmented solutions have too often prevented leaders from realizing the vision of college and career readiness for all. 

Our belief: those days are over. 

We are thrilled to announce our acquisition of MajorClarity, a powerful tool that translates students' career discovery into actionable academic plans and postsecondary opportunities. With the combination of MajorClarity and Edmentum Career, we can now equip and empower your district to deliver on comprehensive college and career readiness (CCR) as an attainable goal for every student. 

This unified solution seamlessly brings together:

• Career Discovery
• Academic Planning
• High-Impact career pathways
• Work-Based Learning
• Post-Secondary Planning

The result? The only scalable, end-to-end CCR solution across K-12.

Postsecondary Readiness: From Awareness to Preparation to Outcomes

Our goal is to help you address the pressing, persistent challenges associated with postsecondary readiness, and do so in a way that helps you engage every learner throughout the process. Studies show that a majority of Gen Z students have little awareness of postsecondary options beyond paid work or a four-year degree—such as associate's degrees, certifications, internships, and apprenticeships. Furthermore, fewer than 30% of high school students feel "very prepared" to pursue any of the postsecondary options they are considering.

The combined MajorClarity and Edmentum Career solution directly confronts these issues by guiding students through the full sequence:

1. Identifying their interests.
2. Learning about aligned careers through interactive experiences.
3. Connecting interests to district courses through academic planning.
4. Build technical, durable, and academic skills with high-quality curricula and certification prep.
5. Make postsecondary decisions with college and technical school exploration, scholarship search, and college app and tracking. 

“[The MajorClarity] platform will combine with our robust Edmentum Career solution to transform school districts’ vision of what they want to achieve, combined with their knowledge of what their curriculum and programs can support, into an actionable, sustainable system to ensure every learner is set up for postsecondary success,” said Jamie Candee, Edmentum President & CEO. 

Relevance Drives Engagement

Edmentum Career already features over 180 CTE semesters with embedded durable skills, aligned to 57 multi-year pathways across grades 6-12. By starting career exploration early, students gain the opportunity to discover their interests—and just as importantly, what they don't like—and then stack learning experiences over their secondary years.

Research consistently proves the value of this approach:

• Engagement and hope increase as students participate in more CCL opportunities.
• Absenteeism decreases when students are more engaged.
• High school graduation rates and future earnings improve when students "concentrate" by taking at least three courses along a specific CTE pathway.

This acquisition strengthens our ability to help you drive engagement.

“MajorClarity helps students make the connections between their interests, their academics, and the career they want to pursue. That’s a strong foundation from which engagement and outcomes follow,” adds Candee. 

By focusing inclusively on both college and career readiness—as exemplified by models like Virginia’s 3E accountability framework and Indiana’s Graduation Pathways model—we eliminate the need for "college-ready" and "career-ready" to operate on separate tracks. The unified MajorClarity and Edmentum Career solution is specifically designed to address districts’ work toward these objectives, eliminating fragmented systems and bringing scalable, cost-effective, and comprehensive college and career readiness together.

I’m new to MajorClarity. What does this product do for school districts?

MajorClarity connects vision to action, building a scalable, future-ready college and career readiness program. It unifies career assessment, personalized discovery, academic and post-secondary planning, and work-based learning tools into a single, cohesive experience.

The tool is built on an intuitive framework designed to support the entire student journey, providing powerful data and management tools for administrators and counselors. Briefly, MajorClarity includes the following components:

Discover: Help students answer, “What do I want to do?”

MajorClarity uses personality and learning style assessments to generate "fit scores" for students across nearly 70 different career paths. From there, students can choose to explore more deeply and engage in interactive "test drives"—comprised of video interviews and related activities—to explore careers aligned with their interests. Even better: students can continue to refine their fit score by individually rating career experiences as they complete their test drives. Students who complete a test-drive are 189% more likely to select an aligned course plan!

Guided by career recommendations, students then use the planning tools to build 4- or 6-year learning plans mapped directly to your district's specific programs of study and graduation requirements.

Launch: Help students answer, “Am I ready for what’s next?”

Students can explore all postsecondary institutions in the U.S.—thousands of 4-year, 2-year, and technical schools—to gather critical information on programs, affordability, admissions, and graduation trends.

They will also access a work-based learning hub that seamlessly connects them with employer opportunities. It also features micro-credentialing to help students pre-qualify for competitive opportunities, along with integrated resume and cover letter builders.

And for those who are pursuing higher education, college application management tools enable students to track applications, prioritize deadlines, and securely request transcripts and letters of recommendation through integrations with the Common App and Parchment.

Administrator and Counselor Tools

Administrators and counselors can easily review completed career plans, drill into student pathways and test drives, and create private notes associated with student portfolios. They can also use secure tools to communicate with students and guardians. 

School and district analytics enable leaders to capture data trends on popular careers, pathways, and clusters to inform master course planning, budgeting strategies, and resource allocation. And, with customized reporting, districts can monitor program usage, track application statuses, and follow students' individualized learning plan progress.
