ACTE's National Work-Based Learning Conference 2026

The MAP-IT framework provides a structured approach for using technology tools to support student career exploration and planning. By guiding students through matching their interests, analyzing opportunities, creating plans, implementing actions, and tracking progress, MAP-IT ensures all students graduate with a clear and actionable career pathway. This process leverages technology’s strengths—such as career assessments, labor market insights, and digital portfolios—to make planning both meaningful and future-focused. This roundable unpacks the MAP-IT framework, how it supports career planning through advisory periods and other spaces, and how educators can use technology tools effectively.
