MAIALEARNING FOR ILLINOIS
Guiding Illinois Students
Toward College, Career, and Postsecondary Readiness
MaiaLearning supports Illinois districts as they help students build meaningful postsecondary and career readiness plans aligned to the PaCE Framework, pathway exploration, workforce development priorities, and postsecondary goals.
With tools for planning, advising, exploration, and progress monitoring, MaiaLearning helps counselors and school teams keep students, families, educators, employers, and advisors connected around each learner's next step after high school.
By partnering with MaiaLearning, Illinois schools can strengthen the systems that support PaCE milestone tracking, pathway conversations, work-based learning participation, CTE planning, and postsecondary readiness decisions across middle and high school.
ILLINOIS FRAMEWORK
How MaiaLearning supports Illinois's readiness requirements
Illinois' Postsecondary and Career Expectations Framework helps schools organize structured college and career readiness milestones across grade levels so students can build awareness, explore pathways, and prepare for postsecondary success. MaiaLearning gives schools a central space to organize readiness planning, support exploration, document experiences, and help students connect academic progress to future goals.
WHAT'S INSIDE

College planning and financial literacy resources that help students and families make informed postsecondary decisions
Academic planning and progress tracking to support PaCE milestone completion, pathway participation, and graduation conversations
Resume, portfolio, student profile, and credential tracking tools that help learners document experiences, employability skills, pathway participation, credentials, and goals

REPORTING & READINESS
Reporting that supports local implementation
MaiaLearning can help Illinois districts organize student planning activity, surface advising needs, and review progress toward college and career readiness goals. Schools can use these insights to support local implementation of PaCE and readiness planning processes and strengthen pathway and postsecondary planning conversations.
When connected to available school data sources, MaiaLearning can help teams view planning activity alongside academic readiness indicators so counselors and leaders can identify where students need additional support.
School and district teams can review aggregate readiness trends to see where students are engaging, where plans need attention, and where advising resources may need to be focused.
Customizable reports can help district leaders monitor planning milestones, student engagement, readiness activities, and pathway exploration across schools.
FOR COUNSELORS
Equipping Illinois Counselors for Postsecondary and Career Readiness Planning
Counselors are central to helping students connect academic preparation, career exploration, pathway participation, workforce readiness, PaCE milestones, and postsecondary goals. MaiaLearning helps advising teams stay organized, see where students are in the planning process, and guide each learner through exploration, application, and next-step decisions.
