The guidance gap

Career planning fails quietly, years before anyone notices.

Today
  • One counselor covers 385 students, so career planning becomes triage.
  • Interest surveys are taken once in grade 9 and never revisited.
  • Nobody notices a 0.5 GPA gap against a target major until senior year.
  • Prerequisite mistakes are found after course selection closes.
With StepUp
  • Continuous assessment cadence with a 30-day retake window.
  • A living pathway graph that updates on every grade and experience.
  • Automatic GPA-gap and prerequisite scoring against real entry requirements.
  • A priority queue that tells counselors exactly who to see, and why.
The platform

Three systems, one continuously updating graph.

StepUp is not a survey tool with a report attached. Assessment, mapping and intervention run on the same data structure, so a single grade change moves every downstream recommendation.

How it works

From an eight-minute inventory to an intervention that lands.

01

Students complete the inventory

Thirty Holland RIASEC items in about eight minutes, then optional aptitude, skills, personality and values instruments.

02

StepUp builds the pathway graph

Interests, grades and prerequisites resolve into three interconnected routes — safe, balanced and ambitious — with courses, clubs, certifications and internships as nodes.

03

Grades keep the graph honest

Every progress report re-scores the GPA gap against required entry GPAs, and the roadmap reshapes automatically.

04

Counselors act on the exceptions

The risk radar surfaces the fifteen students who need a meeting this week, with the reasoning already written.

The opportunity graph

Every signal a district already collects, connected.

Assessments, grades and prerequisites flow into one graph. StepUp re-solves it continuously and pushes the result to the two people who can act on it — the student and their counselor.
