One student plan, five ways to use it. Pick who you are and scroll through what you would do on the platform, step by step.

Leave with a plan you understand.

Where it happens: the Student Hub.

Step 1

Find what you are drawn to

Short interest and strengths activities. Results save to your profile and shape what you see next, so exploring starts from you, not from a list.

Assessments
Interest results for a sample student: the code IRS, Investigative, Realistic and Social, with a plain explanation and a score bar for each.

Step 2

Check a career before you commit

Pay, demand, common education levels, and AI exposure sit on one card, with plain-language checks for what suits you and what may not fit.

Explore, career page
The Registered Nurses career page for a sample student: typical pay, job growth, typical schooling and soonest start, the page tabs, and how the student’s interests line up with the job.

Step 3

Compare the ways in

College, transfer, apprenticeship, bridge, and direct entry, side by side, with realistic time and cost ranges and the requirements that decide who gets in.

Explore, routes and programs
Nine routes into registered nursing, as a sample student sees them, under a bar showing how much education people in the job have, each route labelled traditional or alternative.

Step 4

See the real cost and how to pay

Sticker price next to what students like you actually pay, and the aid steps in order, so money is part of the plan and not a surprise.

Financial aid
Santa Ana College costs, as a sample student sees them: what families pay after grants at each income level, and the sticker price next to what the average family pays.

Step 5

Save a plan you can explain

A first choice, a backup, your questions, and the next three steps. Your support circle lives beside it, with the gap you still need to fill.

My Pathway
A sample student’s pathway at a glance: a career, a path and a school picked from saved lists, and a saved-list checklist with six of eight steps done.

Step 6

Always know the next step

A checklist by grade and deadline, assigned work from your teacher, and a place to flag what is getting in the way before it becomes a wall.

Checklist and Assignments
A sample student’s 11th grade California readiness checklist: the next step to do, then the first group of steps with Learn how and Mark done.
