Founded in 2015 by CEO Katie Fang, SchooLinks is a modern college and career readiness platform that supports districts and students through all aspects of post-secondary planning from career interest inventory to academic plan that aligns with student’s interests and goals. At a district level, the company streamlines back-office logistics, such as individual career and academic plans (ICAPs, PGPs, ILPs, etc.), course planning, CTE pathway, endorsement tracking, etc., so that counselors can spend meaningful in-person meeting time and handle large caseloads effectively. The platform enhances early warning systems and boosts post-secondary outcomes to meet districts’ goals.
SchooLinks is serving customers nationwide with prominent school districts across the country including Dallas ISD, Greenville County Schools, and San Antonio ISD.
