Why Tennessee Districts are Using MajorClarity for CCR

Richard Skipper,
Director of CTE, Coffee County Schools

Career and college readiness, all in one place

MajorClarity brings career exploration, course planning, work-based learning, micro-credentials, and postsecondary (college and career) planning into one student-driven platform.

It's the only comprehensive CCR platform in the market that was designed to be career-first for all students.

Meaningful Career Exploration that Drives Academic Planning

MajorClarity content focuses on engagement: from interactive career test-drives to video interviews from experts and competency-based micro-credentials, the platform puts career exploration at students’ fingertips.

This activity drives career planning, nudging students down the full pathway from exploration to academic and postsecondary planning.

Jake Hammond,
CTE Director

"Having all of our career readiness in one place in MajorClarity made a huge difference—and the single sign on was big for us.”

>> How Jake brought a team approach to connecting CTE & Counseling for CCR

Preparing Students for Work-Based Learning

Connect students to relevant career experiences and internships through an optional Work-Based Learning database—and prepare them for their experiences with the on-demand Soft Skills student micro-credential

Coordinating Postsecondary Applications

Connect students to financial aid information, manage transcript requests for Common App, and help students make aligned postsecondary plans all in one place.

“Having a digital platform is a much more manageable process for my team, but it also puts students in the driver’s seat. What we like most is the career path simulation activities—this really drives the planning process in our district. The last program we used had some video and activity content, but not like this. Our students had to do a lot of digging. With MajorClarity, they can log in, research, compare, and save post-secondary opportunities—all in one spot."

Director of Counseling
