“The CCA Tool has been a game-changer in helping students explore careers and plan for their futures,” said Dina Klancir. “We use it in advising classes, career prep courses, and even for student-led parent-teacher conferences. Teachers across subjects—from business and CTE to special education—are leveraging the tool to support personalized learning and meaningful career conversations.”
The CCA Tool is an innovative, statewide career advising platform designed to help students, job seekers, and career counselors navigate career pathways with confidence. It provides:
- Personalized Career Matching: Strengths-based career recommendations tailored to individual skills and motivations.
- Local Employer Connections: A ZipRecruiter-powered feature allowing students to explore local companies and reach out directly for opportunities.
- Educator & Workforce Integration: A resource for teachers, counselors, and advisors to embed career exploration into classroom learning and workforce programs.
- Support for ICAP & Career Planning: Schools use the tool to guide students in Individual Career and Academic Planning (ICAP), career fair planning, and college preparation.
“The engagement and enthusiasm from counselors and educators at the summit reaffirm why we do this work,” said Sueann Casey, CXO of Indigo Education Company. “Career advising is evolving, and the CCA Tool ensures students and job seekers have access to the resources they need to make informed decisions about their futures.”
