Supporting education and innovation.
K-8
Pathwaze provides a platform for building foundational comptencies including academic and soft skills. Learners earn points on the Pathwaze Scoreboard. They develop self-knowledge through prediction and reflection exercises in the PathPursuit Module.
High School
Learners match interests and abilities identified on their Pathwaze Scoreboard to careers that require those skills. Relevance in learning can lead to more engagement, higher grades and improved graduation rates.
Career and Technical Education
Pathwaze directs learners to "bright outlook" careers. Bright outlook jobs are projected to grow faster than average with employment increase of 10% or more and projected to have 100,000 or more job openings over the period 2016-2026. Many are in jobs categorized as "middle-skills" jobs, requiring more than a high school degree, but less than a 4-year degree .
Higher Education
Pathwaze can guide learners to a course of study that matches their interests to prepare for in-demand jobs, helping them make more informed decisions about their educational investments. A 2017 report by Gallup and Stada Education shows that among recent college graduates 50% are unemployed or underemployed. And more than 50% of those who embark on a college education never complete it. More than 44 million Americans carry $1.5 trillion in student loan debt.

“Education without real-world applicability or the ability of college graduates to launch a career will not yield the results we need to continue to grow the American economy. We must improve the alignment between what is learned in the classroom and what is needed in the workplace if we are to close our nation’s skills gap.”
