Problem
Traditional student success tools only capture formal coursework, leaving skills gained from jobs, clubs, volunteering, and life experiences invisible to advisors and employers. This creates a data gap that hampers effective career advising and leaves students without portable, verifiable evidence of their full capabilities.
Solution
Katch Skills provides a skills intelligence platform that captures, tracks, and validates all student learning—formal and informal—in one portable record. The Katch Skills Learning Journal automatically maps experiences to real employer and job market frameworks, generating structured, employer-readable skills evidence that students keep after graduation. Career and student support teams use a subscription dashboard to map skills across their entire student population, identify job-ready students faster, and connect them to employers based on skills fit. The platform includes analytics support, enabling institutions to build outcome reports without needing a dedicated data analyst on staff.
