The Palmetto Education Summit 2026

Career readiness becomes real when districts give every student a clear line of sight to their future—and when leaders have real-time, trusted insights to measure progress consistently across schools. This session outlines a practical framework for building a districtwide, school‑to‑workforce data ecosystem anchored in Naviance and aligned to state expectations.

Attendees will learn how districts use a centralized platform to strengthen advising, track CTE participation, and support postsecondary transitions with greater clarity and confidence. We’ll focus on what it takes to connect the dots across buildings, partners, and data systems in a way that is streamlined, sustainable, and aligned to district priorities—bringing transparency to career‑readiness efforts while maintaining a secure and governed data environment.

      Key topics include:

District‑aligned definitions of career‑readiness milestones

Seamless coordination between Naviance and existing systems
A focused set of research‑grounded indicators supported by tools that surface insights, enable smarter decision‑making, and drive continuous improvement at scale.
