The Career Index is an entirely new breed of information technology aimed squarely at fundamental delivery issues states face today in achieving successful employment outcomes for "hard to serve" populations.
Economic and political realities are changing the landscape forever as states must find ways to do more with less. Questions of relevance and return on investment are becoming increasingly pressing. At the same time, technology has finally caught up with these realities, making it possible to deliver effective solutions that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
The technology we provide has one single aim: Getting consumers the right job in the shortest period of time by empowering counselors to do what they do best: Counsel.
The end goal of getting a consumer placed relies on a chain of events and that chain is no stronger than its weakest link.
This is why The Career Index consists of four ground-breaking technologies that have been combined into a cohesive, integrated framework of applications that address fundamental delivery issues in everything from intake through placement.
The Four Technologies
The Career Index - an extremely easy-to-use, free resource that integrates all the latest vocational and labor market information from all areas of the United States.
Sara - Sara is an Artificial Intelligence counselor assistant and more. "Her" primary duty is taking care of the all important follow-up. Sara manages two-way communications with consumers or their proxies. She informs counselors of everything they need to know about the current status of their consumers. In the process she generates detailed documentation while instilling a strong sense of urgency in consumers.
The Career GPS - This extraordinary "informed choice" tool provides a full battery of assessment tools for vocational evaluation. It includes a unique, O*NET-based functional capacity analyzer, O*NET-based skills transference, a Holland Interest Inventory, education level and career path selector integrated with ultra-current, local labor market information.
CATIWorks - This Computer Aided Telephone Interviewing tool developed specifically for job lead generation, directly mines the hidden job market, providing non-advertized, "just-in-time" job openings matched to job-ready consumers and informs related counselors in near real-time.
These technologies only represent a "solution" to the extent they are affordable and can be implemented with existing resources. This is why The Career index offers a simple, virtually risk free pricing model. There are no up-front fees, no license, installation, maintenance, support, change order or training fees. Instead, our solutions can be acquired inexpensively on a per-consumer basis if and when front line counselors decide to use them.
