Digital platform for study and career guidance

A digital platform for study and career guidance: how Skoolie works

Skoolie is a unified platform for study and career guidance that works for compulsory school, upper secondary school and adult education. The platform was founded in 2022 and has been developed together with study and career counsellors (SYV) and students from across Sweden. The municipality procures the platform, and students and counsellors use it both ahead of study and career choices and in ongoing guidance work.

What can students do in Skoolie?

In Skoolie, students search among educations and occupations based on their interests, strengths and grades. The platform gathers offerings from upper secondary schools, folk high schools, higher vocational education and universities in a single search.

  • Explore their eligibility for programmes and see the likelihood of being admitted based on current admission statistics.
  • Compare different paths and save options that look interesting.
  • Build a CV and export it as a PDF.
  • Access salary data, occupational outlooks and labour market forecasts from the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen).

Support for study and career counsellors

A counsellor in Skoolie sees a complete picture of each student: courses, grades, the educations and jobs the student has saved, CV and meeting notes in one and the same interface. This means a guidance session can be prepared in a few minutes instead of having to piece the picture together from several systems. More time goes to the actual conversation and individual tailoring, less to administration.

The platform also flags students with eligibility gaps as support for preventive work. The digital support replaces neither the counsellor's expertise nor the human conversation.

Support for the upper secondary school application and eligibility

The choice of upper secondary school is one of the most important decisions in a young person's life, and it is often made with far too little information. Skoolie shows which subjects and grades are required for different programmes, what the admission statistics look like and where a given education leads in the labour market. Data is sourced from the relevant public agencies, which means continuously updated information with national coverage.

Skoolie for compulsory school, upper secondary school and adult education

In compulsory school it is about sparking curiosity and giving a first picture of what is out there. In upper secondary school the platform is used to support students in reaching their diploma and planning their next step. In adult education Skoolie often meets students in career transition, providing support for navigating a range of courses and programmes that looks very different depending on where in the country you are.

Integration with the school's existing systems

Skoolie integrates with the student registers you already use: IST, Edlevo, Alvis, Meitner, Schoolsoft and more. This means student data is not entered manually and the information stays current without extra work.
