Defined Careers is a comprehensive K-12 college and career readiness platform for career exploration, experience, and successful career navigation. The platform offers personalized recommendations for career pathways that help students in their future planning and preparation. Defined Careers is designed to help bridge the gap between education and the workforce. It provides students with a range of career-connected learning opportunities, including a library of over 600 career courses. Schools and districts can use the Opportunities Module within Defined Careers to post and manage local work-based learning opportunities and business partners, giving students an interface to search, apply, and track career interests and gives educators the reporting tools needed to gain powerful insights into their students’ WBL activities.
Their Virtual Internships, included within the Opportunities Module, enable students to engage in self-paced, career-specific experiences across nationally recognized career clusters and beyond. The Workforce Opportunity Bridge, which is a powerful public-facing add-on, expands this by showcasing local businesses, WBL opportunities, and a custom catalog of career courses tailored to community needs, bridging the opportunity gap between education and workforce.
In a 2024 study conducted by MIDA Learning Technologies at Broken Arrow Public Schools, Defined Careers significantly boosted student confidence in career decision-making and improved understanding of career paths. The study also found that Defined Careers assisted students in their journey of self-discovery and career aspirations.
Defined Careers, paired with the Defined Careers Workforce Opportunity Bridge add-on, is ideal for schools, districts, and regional workforce programs aiming to enhance engagement and career readiness.
