While career navigation decisions are personal to each learner and worker, they are not made in isolation. State policy plays a critical role in shaping whether young people can access the personalized guidance they need to explore available options and pursue the path that best suits their needs, skills, and interests.
This assessment tool helps state and local users assess their state’s progress in adopting and implementing key policies that are critical for helping young people make informed decisions about what’s next after high school. You can use this tool to document your state’s progress enacting key policies that contribute to a modern and effective statewide career navigation system and identify where to start when adopting or modifying policies to expand access to and improve the quality of personalized guidance for young people.
