Help every South Carolina student meet college and career readiness expectations, complete Individual Graduation Plans, and achieve postsecondary success with the tools districts need to track progress, manage pathways, and scale readiness across schools.
South Carolina’s college and career readiness framework is defined by the Education and Economic Development Act of 2005 (EEDA), which requires a statewide system of career development and personalized planning beginning in elementary school and continuing through graduation.
At the center of this framework is the Individual Graduation Plan (IGP), a required planning process for all students in grades 8 through 12. The IGP serves as a multi-year roadmap that aligns academic coursework, career clusters, and postsecondary goals, ensuring students are prepared for college, careers, or workforce entry.
Students select a career cluster in 8th grade and refine it into a career major by 10th grade, creating a structured pathway that includes coursework, work-based learning, and credential attainment. Schools must also track college and career readiness indicators, including WBL participation, industry credentials, and postsecondary benchmarks.
Kuder Navigator provides a unified platform South Carolina districts can use to manage IGP implementation, support career pathway development, track readiness indicators, and report outcomes across schools.
Students engage in career awareness, exploration, and preparation from elementary through high school. Educators guide annual planning conferences and pathway decisions. District leaders gain real-time dashboards showing IGP progress, career readiness status, and system-wide outcomes.

South Carolina districts are responsible for implementing the EEDA framework, ensuring every student completes an Individual Graduation Plan, participates in career pathway development, and meets college or career readiness indicators tied to state accountability systems.
Districts must coordinate annual IGP conferences, track student progression through career clusters and majors, and report outcomes such as credential attainment, work-based learning participation, and readiness benchmarks.
Kuder provides the infrastructure districts need to manage South Carolina college and career readiness at scale, supporting planning, pathway alignment, and reporting across schools.
