How can we help you integrate the RIASEC Framework?

Develop a custom, system-wide approach to integration

We integrate the RIASEC framework into your existing mission, vision, or school brand. Our goal is to seamlessly integrate the language without disrupting your existing scope and sequence. If you are interested in using RIASEC and the idea of career-related learning to brand your school, RIASEC offers a strong foundation. Our goal is to help you integrate the RIASEC and bring a new level of context to your content and stronger relationships between students and teachers.

Build a common career language with your community

The RIASEC has been researched for more than 70 years, but its existence is new to many educators and parents. We provide the communication tools and training to bring the common language, the why, what and how of RIASEC, to life so every adult can articulate the why, what, and how of our model and why it’s good for kids. This approach helps to make powerful connections between what students are learning in the classroom and the world of work.

Professional development for educators and community partners

Our team delivers professional development both synchronously and asynchronously, to small groups or large groups, to support the skill development of educators and counselors. After years of testing, we are now able to offer a simple and focused tools to help every educator in every grade advance the common language of career with their students. Community partners can also learn methods for integrating the RIASEC within their school to career pathways efforts.

Provide tools for teachers and students to integrate the RIASEC language

Years of practice and evaluation across grade levels has allowed us to focus the toolset to improve integration and teacher engagement. We believe career-related learning is most effective when teachers are using their talents to integrate career-related teaching within their core content areas. Therefore, our tools are designed with a dialogic approach to teaching and learning. The tools are research based and 100% aligned to the RIASEC framework with the goal of helping teachers help students speak the RIASEC within the first few months of integration.
