Skills Record for Students
Skills Intelligence for Schools

High schools are being held accountable for workforce readiness.
Most have no data to show for it.

Volly gives schools the skills intelligence infrastructure to map what students are actually building to CTE pathways, workforce readiness requirements, and the frameworks that matter to state accountability systems.

The problem

Schools are being measured on outcomes
they have no infrastructure to track.

Grades and test scores don't capture workforce readiness. Transcripts weren't built for it. Schools are being scored on outcomes they have no infrastructure to measure.

📊
No shared skills language

Schools, CTE programs, employers, and state accountability systems all use different frameworks. Students fall through every gap.

📋
Accountability without evidence

42 states now score schools on workforce and career readiness. But most schools have no real-time data on which skills their students are building across programs, cohorts, and grades.

🎯
CTE pathways with no feedback loop

CTE programs need to prove outcomes, but the student-level skills data doesn't exist. Work-based learning experiences, internships, and hands-on training go unrecorded in any form that maps to employer frameworks or CTE standards.

How Volly works

Skills data that builds itself, school year after school year.

Students generate the data by doing what they already do. Schools get the aggregate intelligence, mapped to the frameworks that matter for accountability, CTE alignment, and workforce outcomes.

01
Students log. Volly translates.

Students describe their activities in plain language. Volly automatically tags real skills from every entry. No counselor time required, no manual data entry, no surveys.

02
Skills map to your frameworks.

Every entry maps automatically to a skills taxonomy aligned to employer standards and CTE pathways, giving your programs a skills data layer that didn't exist before.

03
Your dashboard shows what's working.

The school-facing dashboard surfaces skills development by program, cohort, and grade. Real evidence for accountability reporting, grant applications, and CTE program decisions, updated continuously.


What schools get

The infrastructure to show what your
students are actually building.

Not a counselor tool, a survey, or a self-reported checklist. A live skills data layer built from real student activity.

📈
CTE pathway alignment

See which skills your CTE programs are producing by cohort, program, and grade. Align curriculum to what your state accountability system requires.

📁
Grant and program development

Workforce development grants require evidence of outcomes. Volly builds that evidence base automatically from real student activity.

🏛️
Accountability evidence

42 states score schools on workforce readiness. Volly gives you the skills data to demonstrate what your students are building across every program.

💼
Employer framework mapping

Students' skills records map to real employer and workforce frameworks, giving districts the evidence base to strengthen employer partnerships.
