Naviance is a web-based college, career and life readiness platform for K–12 students, educators, counselors and families. It brings together student self-discovery, career exploration, course planning, college research and application support. Self-discovery options include Gallup Clifton StrengthsExplorer, Career Interest Profiler, Career Key and AchieveWorks assessments. Students can explore careers through videos and work-based learning, including internships, apprenticeships and job shadows. They can also create multi-year course plans that align career interests with graduation and state requirements and district priorities. For college planning, Naviance provides research and application tools; school staff can connect students with college and military representatives and manage the application process. Interactive, self-paced social and emotional learning lessons align with the CASEL 5 and ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors for Student Success. Reports and dashboards help schools and districts track readiness initiatives and share student progress with families. Listed integrations include PowerSchool SIS and Schoology Learning, and documentation also describes eSchoolPlus SIS data integration. Data imports from PowerSchool SIS and eSchoolPlus flow one way into Naviance, with automatic student-record imports available every 4, 12 or 24 hours. PowerSchool describes Naviance as an institutional product and offers schools and districts a personalized demo. Pricing is on request.
