The FYJ Approach

What we bring to your career center in the box, how we tailor the platform to your school, and what you can count on from us as a partner.

What we bring in the box

Public research sources and established coaching frameworks the AI draws on from the moment a student logs in.

Research & data sources
O*NET
U.S. Department of Labor. 1,000+ occupations with skill profiles.
Used for: Mapping career paths and matching skills to roles.
BLS Wage Statistics
Federal salary data, 10th to 90th percentile ranges.
Used for: Salary benchmarks, cited with a direct link.
BLS Employment Projections
10-year occupational outlook.
Used for: Growth rates and viability on career-path recommendations.
NACE Competencies
8-competency career readiness framework.
Used for: Tracking student readiness from coursework and experience.
WEF Future of Jobs
Global employer survey, 2030 skills outlook.
Used for: Identifying rising skills and long-horizon career planning.
FRED Economic Indicators
Federal Reserve macro and labor data.
Used for: Real-time unemployment, sector employment, market context.
Coaching frameworks the AI applies
XYZ Formula
"Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y] by doing [Z]."
Used for: Shaping resume bullets with a strong verb, a measurable outcome, and the specific action.
Source: Popularized by Laszlo Bock, former SVP People Operations at Google, in Work Rules! (2015).
STAR Method
Situation · Task · Action · Result
Used for: Structuring behavioral interview answers and evaluating whether a resume bullet tells a complete story.
Source: Originated by Tom Janz in Behavior Description Interviewing (1982). Adopted by Amazon, SHRM, and most Fortune 500 recruiting processes.
SMART Goals
Specific · Measurable · Achievable · Relevant · Time-bound
Used for: Concrete career action plans. "Apply to five target firms by November 1" rather than "work on job search."
Source: Introduced by George T. Doran, Management Review (November 1981).
Competing Values Framework
Four culture types: Clan · Adhocracy · Hierarchy · Market
Used for: Surfacing culture fit when students compare roles.
Source: Developed by Robert Quinn and Kim Cameron, University of Michigan. Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture (Jossey-Bass, 1999).
DISC-Inspired Style Adaptation
Behavioral communication styles.
Used for: Adapting AI response format to each student's communication preference.
Source: Based on the behavioral model introduced by William Moulton Marston, Emotions of Normal People (1928). FYJ implements a DISC-Inspired style adaptation. It is not a formal assessment tool.
Socratic Coaching
Questions over answers.
Used for: Building student agency. The AI asks, students think, decisions come from them.
Source: Classical method attributed to Socrates, via Plato's dialogues (5th c. BCE). Modern coaching application: Stober and Grant, Evidence Based Coaching Handbook (Wiley, 2006).

How we customize for your school

The baseline is the foundation. Your school’s fingerprint on the platform is the difference between “another career tool” and “our career tool.” Scope and depth in each category are defined together during the requirements review.

Trained on your approach

The AI learns your school's resume format, coaching philosophy, feedback patterns, and advisor voice so output reflects your standards. The AI coaches in your voice, not generic career advice.

Aligned to your curriculum

Where your school has a career curriculum or readiness program, we map the AI's coaching to reinforce it. Students move through your program, not around it.

Connected to your career platform

Jobs, events, appointments, and outcomes from your career management system flow into the student experience. Systems like Handshake, 12Twenty, Symplicity, or others. Everything lives in one place.

Embedded in your LMS

Students can launch FYJ from inside a course module in Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, or others with their identity carried through. No second login. No lost context.

Featuring your programs and network

Centers, events, alumni signals, and recruiting partnerships specific to your school surface naturally in conversation. The AI points students toward opportunities that actually exist on your campus.

Fit to your career center's voice

Tone, phrasing, and framing reflect your CDC. Professional where you're professional. Warm where you're warm. Rigorous where you're rigorous.

What you can count on

Standards and commitments that apply to every school engagement, from scope through pilot and into production.

  • FERPA-aligned agreement. Standard higher-ed vendor data-processing agreement, provided up front.
  • Your data stays yours. Each school's data lives in its own environment, isolated from every other school.
  • No training on student data. Student content is not used to train AI models. OpenAI API data is not used by OpenAI for model training per their enterprise API terms.
  • Deletion on request. Individual students or the full tenant. Verified in writing at contract close.
  • SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. Infrastructure hosted on SOC 2 Type II certified platforms (Supabase and AWS), both independently audited.
  • HECVAT available on request. Standard higher-ed vendor security questionnaire ready for your IT team.
  • Encryption everywhere. TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest.
  • Built to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility principles. Keyboard navigation, screen reader support, color contrast, and semantic structure throughout.

How we get started together

  1. 1Scope doc tailored to your school, covering the modules in scope, the customization categories we'd build, and the systems we'd connect to.
  2. 2We meet to walk through it so your team can flag gaps, confirm requirements, and shape what the pilot should prove.
  3. 3We build a pilot version aligned to what we agreed on, with logins for your team to test directly.
  4. 4Once your team has tested and given feedback, we launch with the cohort you choose.

Let’s talk about how this works for your school.
