From Roadmap to Real Impact: How Districts Are Using the New Naviance Experience

[#1]

Over the last year, Naviance has continued to evolve in powerful ways. From AI-powered college and career exploration to streamlined counselor workflows, enhanced reporting, work-based learning, portfolios, and family engagement, districts are already putting these innovations into practice to better support students and staff.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Across the country, districts are sharing how these new Naviance experiences are helping them simplify workflows, scale student support, and create more meaningful college, career, and life readiness journeys.

Streamlining High-Volume College Application Workflows

As student application numbers continue to rise, counselors and college & career teams are under increasing pressure to manage transcripts, recommendations, reporting, and follow-ups efficiently.

That’s where newer Naviance workflow enhancements, like bulk sending through eDocs, improved reporting, and tracking visibility, are making a major difference.

“Before bulk sending, we would spend at least two or three days just submitting transcripts. It takes a lot of time at the end of the school year. The shift to the bulk send has helped us tremendously.” - Campbell Union High School District, CA

Beyond bulk workflows, districts are also seeing value in enhanced reporting and visibility tools that help staff catch issues earlier and support students more proactively.

“Without the report, we wouldn’t have caught that. Our site is too large.”- Campbell Union High School District, CA

These enhancements align directly with the roadmap improvements, including AI-supported reporting insights, streamlined eDocs workflows, and modernized staff dashboards designed to reduce clicks and save counselor time.

Supporting Student Self-Discovery with AI

Districts are also embracing AI-powered exploration tools to help students begin discovering pathways, careers, and postsecondary opportunities earlier and with more confidence.

PowerBuddy for College & Career is already helping students ask better questions, engage more deeply in exploration, and arrive at counselor conversations more prepared.

“PowerBuddy for College & Career gives students a place to start. … With counselor caseloads being so high, that kind of support really matters.” - Fort Wayne Community Schools, IN

Fort Wayne also highlighted how the redesigned student experience and enhanced career exploration tools are helping students connect classroom learning to real-world opportunities.

“They’re learning what those roles look like and figuring out what they’re interested in before they ever walk in the door. That’s how we’ve really built career exploration into our curriculum.” - Fort Wayne Community Schools, IN

Turning Student Portfolios Into a “Portrait of a Graduate”

As districts focus more intentionally on career readiness and durable skills, Naviance portfolios are becoming a key way to showcase the full picture of student growth.

Fort Wayne Community Schools is leveraging student portfolios to connect credentials, experiences, reflections, and competencies into a more complete “Portrait of a Graduate.”

“Students can showcase their work, credentials, and competencies, and over time we’re building out a full scope and sequence so their portfolio reflects a well-rounded ‘Portrait of a Graduate.’” - Fort Wayne Community Schools, IN

This aligns with Naviance’s continued investment in student-facing experiences, including portfolio enhancements, resume workflows, pathway planning, and career-connected learning.

Building Consistency Across Schools and Districts

For many districts, the value of Naviance is not just about adding more tools. It’s about creating consistency, improving visibility, and reducing disconnected systems.

Hamilton County Schools in Tennessee are using Naviance to align workflows district-wide and support their Opportunity 2030 strategic plan.

“I realized I was working harder than I needed to. The information we were collecting already lived in Naviance. We just weren’t using it consistently.” -Hamilton County Schools, TN

The district is now standardizing advising workflows, improving reporting accuracy, centralizing data, and expanding student engagement with career exploration tools and pathway planning.

“We want students to do more than just request a transcript. We want them exploring careers, selecting pathways, and really understanding what their options are.” - Hamilton County Schools, TN
