The stakes for career outcomes have never been higher
Career readiness is no longer just a student success
issue — it’s becoming an institutional accountability issue.
Institutions are being judged on career outcomes that they can only see in hindsight
The tools most institutions rely on were built to manage activity, not improve outcomes. The data that measures outcomes arrives too late to act on.
SteppingStone was built to change that. Your team can now see exactly where every student stands and act while there is still time.

SteppingStone was built to improve outcomes
CRS tells you what is happening now and guides you towards what to do next.
SteppingStone introduced the Career Readiness Signal: a real-time measure of where every student stands and what your team should do about it. The first of its kind in higher education.
We have focused on career readiness for nearly 20 years, yet there has never been agreement on what it means or how to measure it. This changes everything.
One signal. Complete visibility into career readiness.
Just as GPA gives advisors a real-time measure of academic progress, the Career Readiness Signal does the same for career readiness, freeing your team to focus on the conversations that matter.
The intelligence layer your existing tools are missing
Our modular platform can be deployed at your desired pace — without a complex IT project to worry about. Stella and the student experience can be live in as little as two weeks, with our team guiding you every step of the way.
Your employer relationships are only as strong as the outcomes behind them
When employers find well-prepared, well-matched candidates, they come back and deepen their relationships with the institutions that delivered them.
SteppingStone gives your team visibility into employer hiring activity from first match to final offer, so you always know which partnerships are producing outcomes and where the strongest connections are being built.
