NextREADY GPS helps every member of your family see where they are, name what they know, and chart a clear path toward the life and work they're building — together. Our Family Learning Model means no one navigates alone.
You've done real things — projects, competitions, jobs, challenges. NextREADY GPS gives you the language to name what you built and a way to show it that goes beyond a GPA.
Penny assessment sheets in Life, Work, and Learning skills. A Capstone Journey Journal where you collect evidence. An AI coach that helps you build iCAN statements from your own stories. Career exploration tied to real SOC pathways.
A NextREADY Graduate Profile — a documented demonstration that you are ready, not just credentialed. Built for college applications, workforce entry, and your own sense of direction.
Start your student journey →You have skills from work, from life, from everything you've navigated. NextREADY GPS helps you see them clearly, connect them to the careers you want, and present them in language employers recognize.
Work Skills and Durable Life Skills assessments. SOC code matching that shows which skills align to your target career. An AI coach that turns your experience into iCAN statements an employer will understand.
A clear picture of where you are, what's next, and how to get there. Stackable evidence for the credentials and careers you're building — supported by your DWS case manager or on your own.
Start your workforce journey →Two paths, your choice: become more effective in your current work, or build something new. Both use the same skills framework. Both can be powered by AI on your own devices.
Work Skills for professional growth. Durable Life Skills — especially Financial Literacy, Purpose, and Career Readiness — for the entrepreneurial path. Early Childhood tools if you have young children at home.
More income, more clarity, more capacity to support your family's learning. When parents navigate their own growth, children see it — and learn from it.
Start your parent journey →The Family Learning Model starts here. Parents of young children are not just caregivers — they are their child's first and most important teachers. NextREADY GPS gives families a shared language for what's already developing, and tools to nurture it together.
Durable Life Skills observed through play, daily routine, and family activities. An AI companion on devices you own that helps parents notice and name what's developing. Research-grounded family learning activities that build the Hand elements from the ground up.
Children who arrive at school already knowing who they are — curious, resilient, purposeful. Parents who can see and name their child's growth, and who are growing themselves at the same time. A family navigating together.
Start the family learning path →Not just job-specific training — real skills that transfer, that build culture, that stay. NextREADY GPS gives your team a shared language and gives you evidence of what they can actually do.
Role profiles aligned to SOC codes. Team assessments using the same 39-element framework your employees already know. Level 3 capstone demonstrations as hiring evidence — not just resumes.
A workforce development investment that pays back in retention, clarity, and shared purpose. Sponsoring a team through NextREADY GPS is the most direct way to build the talent you actually need.
Explore employer partnership →The Mastery Learning Index guides every learner from defining skills to connecting them to demonstrating readiness — at any age, any stage.
At Level 1 you learn to define all 39 skill elements and identify each one through personal example. The four domains each have their own assessment sheet — place a penny, tell a story.
At Level 2 you explore relationships. How any skill from Life, Work, or Learning connects with Durable Life Skills in the context of a real job (SOC code). The verb you choose to describe your skill automatically determines your Depth of Knowledge level.
Enter a job title or SOC code and see exactly which skills across all four domains align to that career — and where your current assessment shows growth edges.
A Level 3 demonstration shows you are ready — not just trained. One skill from Life, one from Work, one from Learning, combined with a Durable Life Skill, supported by evidence you've collected in your Journey Journal.
Assessment doesn't have to be a test you fear. It starts with a printed sheet, a coin, and a story you already know. Everything else follows from that moment of honest self-placement.
The most powerful learning companion your family has may already be in your pocket, on your desk, or in your child's hands. Devices with local AI — like Apple Intelligence — bring private, on-device coaching to every stage of your family's journey.
"Your data stays on your device. Your reflection is your own. Your growth isn't extracted — it's navigated."
— The Empowered Learning principleThis isn't about buying new technology. It's about recognizing the infrastructure many families already have — and using it in service of learning sovereignty rather than someone else's data model.
No other framework treats this as a whole-family ecosystem. A parent of a toddler, a teenager building their graduate profile, a young adult entering the workforce, and an employer sponsoring their team can all be navigating — each at their own stage, each using the same language, each part of the same story.
The Family Learning Model recognizes that parents of young children are navigating their own growth at the same time they're shaping their child's. Durable Life Skills — Identity, Purpose, Resilience, Empathy — are observable in daily play and family routine. Parents learn to notice and name what's already developing, in their child and in themselves. Local AI on an iPad or iPhone becomes a family learning companion: present, private, and grounded in what your family is actually doing.
iPad with local AI serves as a family learning hub — activities, observation prompts, and reflection tailored to your family's stage. No data leaves your home. Powered by research from the Family Learning Company.
K–12 students build their Graduate Profile through all three mastery levels — defining skills, connecting them to careers through SOC codes, then demonstrating readiness with real evidence. The AI coach on their iPhone helps build iCAN statements from stories they already know.
iPhone AI coach prompts journal entries right after penny assessment. "You placed your penny on Creativity — tell me about a time you solved a problem in an unexpected way."
Young adults entering or re-entering the workforce use Work Skills and Durable Life Skills to build iCAN statements that translate directly to employer conversations. DWS case managers can co-navigate. SOC matching shows the gap and the path.
AI on iPhone or Mac coaches interview preparation in the learner's own language. "Here's how to describe what you did at that job in terms a healthcare employer will recognize."
Parents take two sub-paths: deepening effectiveness in their current work, or building something entrepreneurial. Both paths use the same Work Skills and Durable Life framework. When children see a parent navigating their own growth, they learn to navigate too.
Mac with local AI as a business coach. Build a proposal, plan a project, draft a pitch — all processed privately on your own device. No subscription to an external AI service required.
Employers who sponsor teams through NextREADY GPS get a shared language, evidence-based hiring criteria aligned to SOC codes, and a workforce development investment that shows in retention and culture — not just training completion rates.
Employer-issued devices with local AI become team development tools — coaching, reflection, and iCAN building all happen privately within the organization's infrastructure.
Every learner has a position, a heading, and a destination. Find yours — and find your family's — with NextREADY GPS.
