Introduce your business and what you do there.

MaiaLearning is a career and college readiness platform for middle schools, high schools, and school districts. Students take assessments to figure out who they are, what their personality type is, and most importantly, what they love to do and what they are passionate about. We also have an Intelligences assessment, Learning & Productivity assessment, and the Holland Interest Profiler. Once the students complete them, they receive career suggestions based on their answers.

Then students can research the careers that have been suggested for them. If they’re interested in the career they’re researching, they can add it to their favorites list and return to it later. Counselors and Educators help them narrow down their choices, so they can begin building their Career Plans.

Through our college search, students can see colleges that offer the programs and majors that match their careers and add them to their list. In 12th grade, they can choose the colleges where they want to apply. Through our integration with Parchment, we send letters of recommendation, transcripts, school profiles, and other supportive documents to colleges across the world.

We also help with academic planning by allowing districts and individual schools to automate the upload of their course catalog from their Student Information System, so their students can begin building their four- or seven-year plans. Once we begin working with our schools and districts on their implementation of MaiaLearning, and we have successfully uploaded their course catalog, that is when we automate the import of all of their students verified course work, once their grades have been posted. This functionality gives staff, students, and parents visibility in real-time, to ensure that the students are meeting state and school graduation requirements.

We help students with financial aid planning. We try to introduce that as soon as possible. Some students think they cannot go to college because they don’t have the money or because their parents never went to college, which leaves them feeling like they do not have any other options. The students create resumes and portfolios that include the activities students do outside of school. They can submit all those documents alongside their college applications. MaiaLearning also allows students to track different experiences they are participating in, like community service, which is required in multiple states for graduation.

I handle outside sales for the company and am preparing myself to one day transition into a leadership role, where I can pass all of the knowledge and experience that I have acquired over the years to others and help them achieve their personal and professional goals. We’re a growing, transitioning startup that provides an EdTech SaaS solution.
