Why YouScience is the best career exploration tool for students

Making the decision to switch to a new college and career readiness platform can feel overwhelming, especially for administrators who know their counselors and teachers already have a lot on their plates. Concerns about training requirements and adapting to change often weigh heavily in the decision-making process. However, schools and districts that have made the switch to YouScience? consistently report a smooth, supportive transition and lasting benefits for both educators and students.

Customer success stories

YouScience has earned high praise for its exceptional customer service and hands-on approach to onboarding. See what a school counselor says about YouScience:

“As a former guidance counselor turned CTE Director, I love the way that YouScience assesses aptitude. Any other aptitude test that I have ever worked with measures what the student “thinks” they are good at. You don’t know what you don’t know, so students don’t have any idea that they might be good at something if they don’t know much about it!”

— ?Cami McCLenny, CTE director, Enterprise City Schools, Alabama

YouScience understands that transitioning to a new platform isn’t just about adopting new technology, it’s about empowering educators to better support their students. That’s why the platform offers:

  • Comprehensive onboarding and training sessions
  • Dedicated customer success managers
  • Ongoing live US based support and troubleshooting

Counselors and administrators have described YouScience as a partner, not just a vendor, emphasizing the responsiveness of the support team:?

“The platform’s availability for assistance nearly round the clock demonstrates its commitment to supporting both educators and students every step of the way.”

— Dan Tedor, Director of Career and Technical Education, Lake Stevens School District

Why educators love YouScience

In addition to top-notch support, schools have found that YouScience provides an intuitive experience for both students and educators. Its aptitude-based assessments offer insights that go beyond interests, uncovering students’ natural abilities and aligning them with career paths they may not have otherwise considered.

“It’s more in-depth with their aptitudes and skills. A lot of the assessments will say, ‘Would you rather climb a mountain or read a book?’ I don’t think they dive as deep as this platform does.”

— Kathy Scobba, Career Specialist, Washougal High School

Key benefits over other platforms

YouScience stands out from other college and career readiness platforms due to its science backed approach and comprehensive features:

  • Aptitude assessments: Unlike traditional interest surveys, YouScience identifies students’ natural abilities, providing personalized career matches.
  • Real world application: The platform connects students with internships and work-based learning opportunities, helping them take actionable steps toward their goals.
  • ONET data integration: YouScience combines its aptitude assessments with ONET career data, giving students a detailed understanding of career requirements and skills needed for success.
  • Custom reporting tools: Educators can track progress, meet state CCR requirements, and measure impact through customizable analytics.
  • Skill development focus: YouScience highlights the skills students need for various careers, ensuring they graduate prepared for the workforce.
  • Platform certifications: YouScience offers certifications to students in the same platform to validate their learnings to future employers.

Smooth implementation

One of the biggest concerns administrators have is whether implementing a new platform will create more work for already busy staff. Schools that have adopted YouScience say the transition was easier than expected and have seen tremendous growth in their classrooms:

“Literally, kids cry in my office (in a good way) every day when they see their YouScience results. They cannot believe the careers that they could do. YouScience changes how they see themselves. I want to make sure that every student at my school takes YouScience.”

— Pauline Medina, Douglas County, GA

Switching to a new career readiness platform can be a big decision, but the experiences of schools that have adopted YouScience show that it doesn’t have to be a stressful one. With exceptional support, personalized training, and a science backed approach to helping students discover their aptitudes, YouScience has proven to be a valuable tool for educators who want to make a meaningful difference.
