How do Gen Z & Gen Alpha navigate college admissions and career decisions in the AI era?
College isn’t the road to prosperity it once was:
Only 2/3 of U.S. students attend college, and fewer than half graduate—the traditional college path is failing the majority of Americans.
Entry-level jobs disappearing:
Even college grads face uncertainty as entry-level jobs become increasingly threatened by AI, making traditional pathways less reliable.
Vocational programs are expanding:
Online bootcamps and vocational training are rapidly growing—offering students more options, but greater complexity.
Critical shortage of guidance:
With counselor-to-student ratios averaging 376:1 (615:1 in Michigan), students have limited resources for guidance.
Students urgently need personalized guidance—the current system isn’t built for the realities of tomorrow.
