Two connected platforms

Your program, supported by connected technology

Bring your school’s learning resources, employer relationships and mentoring program together, with one record of every student’s journey.

KinTrades® Student Edition

Where students, hosts and mentors connect

Student profiles, matched opportunities, introductions and mentoring by video, in your program’s name and colors.

Built for students in every field, from nursing and engineering to business, education, design and the skilled trades.

KinComply™

Where your staff run the program

The workflows and records authorized staff use to confirm eligibility, follow placements, record academic outcomes and report results.

Your institution chooses its learning content and keeps responsibility for every academic decision.

Everyone in one place

Built for the people who make it happen

A great internship or mentor can change a student’s path. Bringing those moments together for a whole school takes many hands, so each person gets a view made for them.

Students

A friendly, mobile-first home for exploring careers and taking the next step.

  • Matched opportunities, ranked by how well they fit
  • Mentors to meet by video, right in the platform
  • Preparation steps your program sets, with progress tracked along the way

School staff and faculty

Your school’s program view, with every student’s progress in one place.

  • Eligibility, placements, courses and credit stay your decisions
  • Faculty advisors follow the students in their sections
  • Reports for leadership, ready when you need them

Host organizations and mentors

An easy way to give back and to meet the talent coming up next.

  • Post internships, projects and other experiences
  • Interview and mentor by video in the platform
  • Clear expectations, and reminders that keep things moving
How it works

From first sign-up to real results

One connected journey for students, with the evidence your school needs collected along the way.

Students join

They sign up under your school’s program and give clear, written consent for how their records are shared.

They connect

Students explore matched opportunities, request introductions and meet mentors by video.

They grow

They complete the preparation steps your program sets, like courses, a video introduction and check-ins, and earn a readiness badge.

You see the impact

Your staff and leadership see participation, mentoring, experiences and academic outcomes as activity is recorded and outcomes are confirmed.

The student experience

A home for their next step

Students see your program’s name and colors, with a small “powered by KinTrades®” underneath. It works beautifully on a phone, because that’s where students are.

Mentoring that fits a student’s week

Meeting a professional who’s been where they want to go can be the moment a student’s path comes into focus. Scheduling it should be the easy part.

  • Either side offers two or three times, and the other picks one
  • Both get a calendar invite with a Join button, plus reminders a day and an hour before
  • Hosts interview students by video in the platform too
  • Private conversations are never stored

Clear next steps, and a badge hosts recognize

Your program sets the preparation steps, such as a profile, a short video introduction, courses and check-ins. Students always know what’s next. When they finish, a readiness badge on their profile shows hosts they’ve completed them.

  • Use your institution’s own or separately licensed courses and resources
  • Supported course integrations open with no separate login and record completion, pass status and score automatically
  • Progress shows on the student’s preparation steps and in your program’s records

For school staff

Your school’s program view, with every student’s progress in one place

KinComply™ gives authorized staff one place to support students and show results. Access follows each person’s role: the program team sees across participating schools, and each school sees only its own students.

  • Schools confirm eligibility, validate placements, select courses and record academic-credit outcomes
  • Faculty advisors follow the students in their sections
  • Outcomes are confirmed by the people responsible for them, so reports rest on verified records
  • Reports separate course completion, mentoring, work-based experience and school-confirmed academic outcomes
  • A worklist shows who needs attention today
  • Every change to a program record is kept in a tamper-evident audit trail

Illustrative example with sample data

Evidence behind every outcome

Every record in KinComply™ carries its source: who entered it, who confirmed it and when. Reports are built from those records, so each number your leadership sees traces back to the evidence behind it.

How evidence works →
Every kind of experience

Wherever a student’s curiosity leads

Internships, micro-internships, sponsored projects, co-ops and more, in every field your school teaches.

Students come first, every time

Families and schools trust you with their students. These protections are part of every program.

Consent that’s clear

Each student gives written consent at sign-up that names the records shared, the purpose and who receives them. The consent, its wording and the date are recorded.

Each school, its own students

School staff see only their own school’s students and reports. Information about a student is shared only with the student’s written consent.

Extra care under 18

For students under 18, a parent or guardian consents to the student taking part, and mentors never see the student’s email or phone number. They meet only in the platform.

Accessible to everyone

Screens are built to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, audited before each program’s users begin, and checked automatically on every release.

Secure by design

Encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in Microsoft Azure in United States regions, monitored, and backed up with tested restores.

Never sold

Student data is used only for the program and is never sold. Your school can export its program data at any time.

For school systems

One school or an entire system

Built for school districts, college systems and statewide programs. Start with one school, add the rest when you’re ready, and see them all in one place.

Talk with us about your system →

Getting started

Your program, launched with you

The platforms already run. We configure them for your program, so your students can start sooner.

1

Design together

We map your program’s rules, consent, eligibility, measures and reports with your team.

2

Make it yours

Your program’s name and colors, at your program’s own web address.

3

Test with you

Your team tries every step before hosts and students arrive.

4

Train and support

Live training for your staff, a help center for everyone, and a named contact.

Support that shows up. Weekday platform support, live training each term, office hours for participating schools and regular reviews of how your program is doing, set out in a support plan agreed with your team during setup.

Let’s open more doors for your students.

Tell us about your school or system and the students you serve. We’ll walk you through the platform and show how it would look with your program’s name on it.

We’ll reply by email within a business day. Submitting this form doesn’t create an obligation.
