Career & Technical Education Programs

Career-Ready Skills. 
Built for K–12.

Today’s CTE programs must do more than expose students to career options. They must help students choose the right pathways, earn recognized credentials, and graduate with real workforce readiness—all while operating within staffing, funding, and compliance constraints.

SchoolDay Academy supports districts by combining Coursera Career Pathways with included career discovery tools from MyInnerGenius®, delivered in a district-ready, K–12-safe environment.

The SDA + MyInnerGenius Model

One platform. Two powerful components. Complete CTE acceleration.

CTE Career Pathways

50+ high-demand pathways mapped to real workforce needs—IT, cybersecurity, data analytics, UX/UI, healthcare, business, project management, and more. Courses are self-paced, expert-led, and tied to industry.

Career Assessment

A validated, science-based assessment that identifies students’ strengths, competencies, and career alignment. Students receive personalized matches to CTE pathways where they’re most likely to succeed.

Solving the Top Challenges CTE Programs Face

CTE leaders are navigating increasing pressure from multiple directions. SchoolDay Academy helps districts address the most common challenges with an integrated approach.

Teacher Shortages

Outdated Curriculum

Equity and Access Gaps

Online, mobile-friendly delivery expands access for rural, urban, and underserved communities—without prerequisites.

Funding Constraints

District-friendly pricing aligns with Perkins V and workforce funding, making credentialed pathways attainable at scale.

Labor Market Misalignment

Pathways are built around in-demand careers and validated by employer partnerships and credential data—while career assessments help students select pathways that fit.
