College & career readiness in Delaware
Delaware students build Student Success Plans starting in grade 8, and Delaware Pathways — career pathways with embedded WBL reaching most high schoolers — is a national model for a small state moving fast.
Student Success Plan
Work-based learning & financial aid in Delaware
Work-based learning
Delaware Pathways' intermediary (the Office of Work-Based Learning) brokers internships statewide; pathway completion includes work experience.

Atlara ↔ Student Success Plan
Plans that track themselves
Readiness Plans auto-complete requirements from real activity — course plans, assessments, applications, FAFSA — so compliance reporting is a byproduct, not a project.
Career + college exploration built in
Interest inventories, a 900+ career library with real O*NET and BLS wage/outlook data, 3,200+ colleges with U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard data, and majors exploration cover the exploration expectations most state frameworks start with.
Work-based learning tracking
Employer partners, placements, hour logs, and competencies — with student portfolios and resumes that assemble themselves.
Counselor + family visibility
Caseload dashboards with early-warning flags, printable conference one-pagers, and a family portal with its own logins and approvals.
Policy details above are a planning summary, not legal guidance — confirm current requirements with the Delaware Department of Education.
