Priority 2 · Develop programs
North Dakota
A documented CTE program, funding mechanism, or pathway supports targeted development; the current buyer and budget still need qualification.
Documented state signal
Existing program signal reviewed
An established program, statute, pathway, or outcome signal supports research. It does not establish an open purchasing opportunity.

Additional value beyond CareerViewXR
Amber · Needs assessment requiredThese are explicit needs to investigate, not confirmed deficits. State policy evidence and proposed product fit are shown separately.
- Career readiness gap to validate
- What exploration need remains after existing statewide access is considered?
- CTE delivery gap to validate
- Is there a subsequent course or skills-practice gap rather than a need for another exploration tool?
- Workforce alignment gap to validate
- Which employers identify missing preparation after exploration?
Decision constraint: Existing statewide CareerViewXR access is not evidence of an exploration gap. Establish additional value before proposing another tool.
