Problem
Students and their families often struggle to identify suitable career paths and educational programs due to fragmented information on jobs, training requirements, schools, housing, and internships. This lack of a unified, personalized guidance tool can lead to suboptimal choices and delayed entry into the workforce.
Solution
Chooseandconnect offers an online platform that guides students and parents through career orientation with a step‑by‑step workflow. Users start with a questionnaire that profiles interests and soft skills, after which an AI enriches the profile and auto‑fills a CV. The platform provides access to a searchable database of 1,220 detailed job cards, school listings, housing options, and curated internship/alternance offers that are filtered to match the user’s profile. A shared workspace lets students and parents collaborate on decisions without pressure, while free 30‑minute counseling sessions are available to clarify doubts. All resources—including articles on orientation, study options, and student life—are centralized to support informed, confident choices.
