Problem
Many schools lack sufficient college and career counseling resources, leaving students—especially first‑generation and under‑served learners—without personalized guidance for post‑secondary planning.
Solution
Uprooted Academy offers an AI‑driven advising platform that connects students, counselors, and a network of college‑career advisors through a single web interface. The system generates individualized college lists, scholarship matches, and career pathway suggestions based on each student’s academic profile, interests, and socioeconomic context. Counselors can monitor student progress, assign resources, and schedule virtual workshops, while advisors contribute content and answer questions at scale. By automating routine recommendation tasks, the platform expands advising capacity, reduces counselor workload, and ensures consistent, data‑backed guidance for every user. All interactions are stored securely and can be accessed by students and educators across any device.
Target Audience
The primary customers are K‑12 schools, district counseling departments, and community organizations that serve high‑school students seeking college and career guidance, particularly those with limited in‑house advising staff.
