Connecting Learning to Life
Naviance is a comprehensive K-12 college and career readiness solution that helps districts and schools align student strengths and interests to postsecondary goals, improving student outcomes and connecting learning to life.

5. The K-12 Student Lifecycle
What is Naviance?
The K-12 Student Lifecycle
Post-Secondary Preparation
Self-Discovery
Career Exploration
Academic Planning
What do I want to be?
How will I get there?
Will I be successful?
Who am I?
The Naviance platform will help your students in 4 key areas: Self Discovery, Career Exploration, Academic Planning, and Post-Secondary Preparation.
Students can take different assessments/personality inventories to learn more about themselves. Students are then introduced to careers that are a good fit based on their assessment results and cart start to think about what they want to be. As students research careers, they can learn what credentialing will be needed as well as related college majors. Students can search for colleges that offer specific majors and learn about the requirements for application and admittance. Once students know what they need to do to reach their career and/or college goals, they can formally set goals for themselves, as well as a to-do list, so that they can manage everything they need to do to successfully reach their post-secondary goals.
