About Orchard
Orchard is an AI-powered college and career readiness platform for schools and districts. Its AI career buddy, Orchie, guides students through skills and interest discovery, personality insights, career exploration videos, school comparison, and personalised action planning — all at their own pace. Students start with a quick lesson, then explore thousands of career spotlight videos, compare colleges and trade schools side by side (on pros, cons, time, cost, and fit), and build a step-by-step action plan tailored to their grade level and career goals. A Career Readiness Index gives students, parents, and counsellors a dynamic, grade-adjusted score of preparedness so everyone knows where to focus. For counsellors and administrators, Orchard provides ready-to-use plug-and-play curriculum, automated insights that reduce workload, and data dashboards tracking student engagement and interests to inform advising and individualised graduation plans. The platform serves students who don't yet know what they want to do, students who have a direction but need a roadmap, and parents wanting to make smart post-secondary investment decisions. Designed to scale career readiness across classrooms or entire districts with minimal setup.
