The Problem

Workforce Journeys Are Often Fragmented.

Participants may interact with training, credentials, career services, assessments, resources, and program milestones across multiple disconnected systems and processes.

For workforce organizations, that fragmentation can make it harder to create a clear participant experience and maintain visibility across the workforce journey.

Navigate brings key elements of the participant workforce journey into a more connected experience.

Sector coverage

Configurable pathways for every sector you serve

Navigate ships with pathways across healthcare, advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, logistics and commercial driving, business services, and technology. Boards can add, rename, or retire pathways so the catalog matches their local labor-market plan and sector partnerships.

How Organizations Use It

What the platform lets your team actually do

Not a feature list — the work partner organizations run through Navigate every day.

Run cohorts and sites

Organize learners by cohort, site, and program date so delivery stays consistent across program staff.

Create career pathways

Configure role-based pathways across healthcare, trades, manufacturing, logistics, business services, and tech — mapped to the jobs your region is actually hiring for.

Measure outcomes

Track baseline, midpoint, and final readiness gains with built-in assessment and reporting tools.

Track learner progress

See who is advancing, who has stalled, and where to intervene — before a cohort ends.

Support program staff

Give case managers and program leads a dashboard with roster visibility, progress signals, and stalled-learner alerts.

Support career readiness

Readiness benchmarks and assessments help participants understand and demonstrate progress toward career readiness.

Increase engagement

Assessments, roadmaps, resume tools, and AI guidance keep participants moving between touchpoints.

Improve workforce reporting

Export funder-ready CSV and printable summary reports without rebuilding spreadsheets at year-end.

The Flow

From first assessment to funder-ready evidence

01

Assess

Baseline career readiness for every participant.

02

Guide

Place learners on a pathway aligned to real employer demand.

03

Support

Program staff and coaches act on live learner signals.

04

Prove

Report progression and outcomes to funders and partners.

Scale

Grow programming without growing headcount

Most workforce programs can't scale because delivery lives in spreadsheets, inboxes, and a handful of experienced staff. Navigate holds that structure instead — so adding a cohort, a site, or a partner doesn't mean rebuilding the program.

  • Add cohorts and sites without redesigning delivery
  • Consistent learner experience across program staff
  • Reporting produced continuously, not at year-end
  • Career readiness tracked inside the pathway, not in a separate system
  • Programs keep running after our team steps back

White-Label Experience

Your Workforce Program. Your Brand.

Navigate can support a branded workforce experience that allows organizations to deliver the participant journey under their own identity while using Workforce Ascend technology behind the experience.

  • Your organization's identity

    Program name, branding, and participant-facing experience presented as your own.

  • Your pathways

    Configure the pathways, milestones, and readiness structure your programs use.

  • Your program staff

    Role-based access so staff see the participants and cohorts they support.

  • Your program view

    Participant progress and program activity organized around how your team works.
