Some industries have major opportunities, but from a worker’s perspective they can still feel opaque, fragmented or hard to enter. Especially if they are new or emerging. This tool evaluates how clear an industry is for workers by assessing barriers to entry, visibility into roles and pathways, and how easy it is to understand the steps needed to get started.

Import any CIP, SOC, NAICS, or ONet code and return the right Advance CTE career group, cluster, and subcluster.

A playful tool in an unsettling time. As AI reshapes the labor market, many workers have little clarity about whether their role is vulnerable or what to do next. This interactive tool uses the most up to date labor market data and research and helps individuals assess career risk and identify adjacent pathways to explore.

A dual-sided credential verification tool. Inspired by the way employment verification works — a worker submits a credential claim, it gets routed to the training provider for verification, and once both sides confirm, a permanent shareable credential record is created. The worker owns a URL they can share with employers. The credential gets saved into the system for easier verification in the future.

EDOs land great deals with orgs and then they have to meticulously track activities like a forensic accountant to disperse incentives. EDO Incentive Magician is a compliance tracking tool that automatically calculates what an economic development incentive recipient owes, what's been paid, and what's left. It avoids PII data issues, pulls everything into a clear dashboard people can plan from, and retires the need for mega spreadsheets and hundreds of hours of work. Gives time back for the white-glove magic they do, reduces audit risk, speeds up approvals, and creates a real time record of how public dollars are performing for a region.
