Where the curriculum meets the company.
Most career connected learning stops at the classroom door. Defined @ Work walks students through it into real companies, real jobs, and real mentors from your own community.
In a market of synthetic everything, real is our spine.
Companies
Local employers students can drive past. Regional employers that provide the hiring engine for the future.
Job Board
Roles that exist — not generic career profiles. Students understand what companies are looking for today to prepare them for the jobs they covet.
Mentors
Bring regional experts into the fold with a facilitated platform to offer students real access to real companies.
Virtual Site Tours
Bring students to the sites of regional employers. A platform to onboard companies and help build virtual tour content to give all students a behind the scenes look.
One continuum from classroom to career.
Defined Learning, Defined Careers, and Defined @ Work form a single arc. Nobody else in K-12 attacks all three. @ Work is the leg that finally closes the loop.
Six ways the workplace shows up, for real!
Whether a district brings industry into the classroom or a chamber links schools to local employers, it's the same six building blocks. Every experience anchored to actual companies in your community.
Real Company Profiles
Browse actual local employers, what they do, who they hire, and what skills they need. Career exploration grounded in opportunities students can actually drive to.
3D Virtual Tours
Real workplaces, walked floor to floor. The factory, the OR, the studio, the warehouse, all without the field trip logistics or the bus.
Mentor Q&A
Real professionals on camera answering the questions students actually ask. Not influencers. Not actors. People who do the job for a living.
Simulated Job Board
Real postings, real requirements, simulated experience. Students learn the mechanics of getting hired by practicing on roles that exist.
Mock Interviews for Real Roles
Real interview questions hiring managers ask, role by role. Students practice answers, get feedback, and walk in prepared the first time.
Company Challenges
Real problems pulled from real businesses, submitted to students as briefs to solve. The work product goes back to the company. The loop closes.
Same product. Two front doors.
Schools and workforce partners want the same outcome: students connected to real local employers. They just enter from different sides. Defined @ Work is the bridge between them.
