◆ FOR HIGH SCHOOLS · THE AP FOR CAREERS™

Your seniors are
sitting in study halls.
Ours are shipping.

Half your grads aren't going to college. The other half arrive on campus with no job skills, no portfolio, and $80K in debt they can't service. Forkaia is the AP for Careers™ — a senior-year credential that gets them hired, in trades, or into college with real work already shipped. Parents will pay for it. Districts can adopt it as CTE.

◆ THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM

You're graduating kids into a market that doesn't want them.

The realityWhat HS offers todayWhat Forkaia offers
College-bound seniors They arrive at college with strong grades but zero real work. First internship is junior year. First real job is 4–6 years away. They arrive at college with a shipped portfolio and 3–5 verifiable Forkaia credentials. Land internships freshman year. First real job by sophomore.
Trade-bound seniors Guidance counselor points at community college brochures. No hands-on skill validation before enrolling. Verified skill tracks in trades, tech, ops, creative — completed before graduation. Employers see real work; students enter apprenticeship warm.
Neither-bound seniors They graduate, work retail, drift. School has nothing else to offer. Forkaia is the first credential + first-employer intro — the alternative-to-college pathway parents can actually be proud of.
Parents Pay $200/hr for SAT tutors, essay coaches, private counselors — with no proof any of it moves the needle on outcomes. Forkaia at $399 for a full semester is the highest-ROI enrichment they'll ever pay for. Real credential, real employer contact, real portfolio.
◆ TWO ADOPTION PATHS

District-adopted or parent-paid. Both work.

◆ PATH A

District CTE Adoption

Forkaia deploys as a Perkins V-aligned Career and Technical Education pathway. Federal + state funding covers it. Students earn CTE credit. School district reports outcomes to state.

◆ PATH B

Parent-Paid Enrichment

Individual families enroll their senior for $399/semester. School gives class credit; parents pay tuition. Higher-margin path, faster launch, no district approval required.

◆ PATH C

Charter / Magnet

Career-focused charters and STEM/CTE magnets can adopt Forkaia as their signature senior curriculum. Differentiates enrollment marketing to parents shopping schools.

The senior year is wasted.

Six months of study halls, senior slides, and empty electives. That time is worth a shipped portfolio, a real credential, and a first employer intro. Forkaia turns it into the highest-value semester of a student's education.
