The platform that
holds the whole story
STEP UP carries a young person from referral to a paycheck — intake, services, courses, credentials, and a full year of follow-up — without ever asking them to start over on a second form.

The platform
Six systems that finally share one spine
Case management, learning, coaching, and reporting stopped being separate tools. They read and write the same participant record, so nothing gets re-keyed and nothing gets lost between them.
One participant record
Intake, forms, documents, accommodations, services, notes, credentials, and follow-up all attach to a single longitudinal record — resuming never creates a duplicate.
Intake that survives real life
Every section autosaves as a draft with visible progress. Staff pick the participant first, then attach the form — never the other way around.
94-course academy
Construction, electrical, industrial, logistics, services, business, and readiness pathways with Learn → Practice → Demonstrate in every course.
Financial Literacy
Eight one-hour weekly missions with scored real-life decisions, hands-on money tools, and a 90-day blueprint the learner walks out with.
Coach Steel
An always-available coach with strict role boundaries, natural read-aloud, and a safe fallback that still answers the actual question when the model is offline.
Reports funders trust
Every figure traces to a saved record. Sample data is labeled as sample. Exports carry the actor, the timestamp, and the reason.
How it works
From referral to a paycheck, on one timeline
Enroll once
Create the participant, capture referral source and consent, then complete or resume the intake packet with everything autosaved.
Discover the path
Career interest, workplace readiness, financial readiness, and living-skills banks produce a blueprint — not a label.
Learn and prove it
Assigned courses and weekly missions with retries, mastery evidence, and accommodations recorded as used.
Place and follow through
Credentials verified, employers matched, and 7-day through 12-month checkpoints tracked against the same record.
Financial Literacy
A course they actually finish
Eight weekly missions, sixty planned minutes each. Coach Steel stays on screen. Every mission moves through a real-life story, a money tool with real numbers, scored decisions that change cash, stability, and credit — then an eight-question check and one action for the week.
- Sequential unlocking with retries and saved progress
- Steel Credits and badges tied to real mastery, not clicks
- Facilitator guides and answer keys never render for a student
- Keyboard-accessible, mobile-first, read-aloud on every screen
Coach Steel
Answers the question that was actually asked
Gemini first, Workers AI second, and a deterministic safe fallback last — so the coach never goes dark. Recent context is kept, canned paragraphs are detected and retried, and no model metadata ever reaches the learner.
Role boundaries
Confidential intake and case detail never crosses into a student, mentor, employer, or sponsor conversation.
One idea at a time
Hard words defined, calculations shown line by line, one concrete example, at most one follow-up question.
Human escalation
Every conversation carries a one-tap path to a real person on the support team.
Read-aloud that sounds human
Best available natural voice, remembered per learner, with stop, pause, and replay.
Who it serves
Ten portals, one source of truth
