Plan
Pearson Career Explorer
Relevant capability: Career exploration connecting interests with pathways.
Fit to test: Which local plan identifies a CTE participation or completion need?
Before recommending: Confirm age range, local career data and overlap with existing guidance tools.
Sales + state / district leaders: obtain the local needs assessment, participation and completion baseline, existing tools and named buyer.
Workforce partners: validate occupations, employer recognition and relevant next steps; no local shortage is quantified in this crosswalk.
Product + Research + Implementation: produce an exact standards / credential crosswalk, evidence, staffing, accessibility, integration, cost and delivery plan.
Government Affairs: resolve the cited policy or funding question with the responsible agency. Public lobbying registration does not establish ownership of this pursuit.
State-specific next step: Review each recipient's High School Success plan and qualify a specific pathway implementation need.
Proposed measures: access to the selected pathway, participation, completion, qualifying credential attainment and verified next destinations. Set baselines and targets with the buyer; none are claimed here.
Analytical product-family crosswalk. State policy signals are sourced; learner and workforce gaps are questions for local validation, not measured shortages. No state-specific product approval, available budget, integration or outcome is established by a proposed match. Product sources checked 2026-09-12.
