The research stays free. The software is optional. The Hamilton
Pathways Lab, our work-based-learning research with all six school
corporations and The Pursuit Institute, is free, district-governed, and
benefits the county whether or not any district buys anything. Alex for
Schools is the optional operating layer on top. That firewall protects
the trust this work runs on, and it holds.
One pipeline, classroom to career
Every stage below is live software, not a slide, and you can walk it as a fictional district before any conversation. The district demo is gated by an access code: access is granted on request, so email us and we will send yours.

What the evidence says
3x more likely employed
Students with at least one paid high-school work experience are over three times more likely to be employed after school. That is what the WBL hours this suite tracks actually buy (Chen et al. 2021, Journal of Disability Policy Studies).
2028 skills gap
Industry 4.0 is opening a technical-plus-soft-skills gap with millions of manufacturing jobs projected unfilled by 2028; Challenge Studio's industry challenges aim curriculum straight at it (Rikala et al. 2024, Technological Forecasting & Social Change).
45.2% college-going, boys
Indiana boys enroll in college at 45.2% vs 58.1% for girls, and gender-siloed pathways route them away from growing health and education fields. Clear non-college pathways are the documented fix (Sagamore Institute 2026).
