3. Priority Key
THIS KEY IS USED THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT TO IDENTIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF
ACTIVITIES FOR COUNSELORS/ADMINISTRATORS AND STUDENTS
THIS IS A MUST-DO ACTIVITY
THIS ACTIVITY IS RECOMMENDED FOR REPORT MANAGEMENT
AND PLANNING PURPOSES
THIS ACTIVITY WILL EXPAND THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE
PRODUCT, BUT IS NOT A NECESSARY COMPONENT FOR
STUDENTS AND ADMINSTRATORS

4. August (or the month prior to school opening)
All Grades -- Administrative Counselor Activities
ANNUAL STUDENT UPLOAD AND SITE PROMOTION
Student upload and Site promotion to the next grade: Self-directed or
EBSCO can assist
SELF-DIRECTED
- Use Account Management - Student Import Feature and template
to import new students
- Use Account Management – Site Promotion feature to promote
existing students. Run Site promotion before adding new students
(or new students will be promoted to the next grade when site
promotion is run)
EBSCO-ASSISTED
- Deliver file of student information to EP for upload and the
creation of login credentials
- Distribute the login names and passwords to students
Report and Administrative Module Training:
If the school plans on using reports to assist in building a career
education plan, counselors/administrators will need to be trained on
the administrative module, especially the Report module.
In making the decision to use the Career Guidance System, a site has
committed to the basics of setting up students and using the reports to
see what the students are looking at in the program. As such, this is
considered a basic “critical” step to gain the minimum benefits of using
Career Guidance System.

5. - Train administrators in the use of Career Community and the
administrative module (Career Management System).
- Reports greatly help career specialists and administrators
identify:
- student usage statistics for occupation and college research.
This information can be use in many ways. Examples include:
- Run the college report to identify colleges that have
been saved by Juniors and Seniors. Use this information
to invite college representatives to the site to talk about
their institution, or plan site visits to the most saved
colleges.
- Run the occupation report to identify occupations that
have been saved by Juniors and Seniors. Invite local
representatives from those professions to the school to
discuss the occupation in detail with students who are
interested in the profession.
IGP Considerations (only if school desires Education Plan set-up)
If the school plans to make use of Career Guidance System’s
IGP/Student Education Plan, it is essential that administrators prepare
resources and time to create the components of the education plan.
Resource-heavy activities include:
- Load the school’s courses into the system: EP can assist, but
courses must be delivered in templated format
- Create IGP Building Blocks (Schools of Study, Career
Pathways, etc). This includes the identification of courses
required to pursue the different schools of study
NOTE: Sites can effectively use the Career Guidance System without
establishing the IGP/Student Education Plan functionality. This IGP
option is available if your site creates education plans for each student,
but is not a critical element in using the Career Guidance System.
