Technology built by practitioners, for practitioners

CareerLinc develops technology solutions for career development professionals. We build tools that combine evidence-based assessment methodologies with modern AI to help practitioners deliver more effective, scalable career guidance.

We're not outside technologists guessing at what career professionals need. Our products are built in partnership with Lincoln Square Coaching, bringing deep career development expertise into every feature we create. This isn't generic EdTech repurposed for career services. It's technology grounded in how practitioners actually work.

The result: tools that respect the complexity of career development while making practitioners more effective. We bridge the gap between evidence-based career development theory and accessible technology.

Evidence-Based

Built on validated and theory-informed assessment instruments and established career development research.

AI-Enhanced

Modern AI that augments practitioner expertise, not replaces it. Your judgment stays central.

Institutional-Grade

Built for the compliance requirements, privacy needs, and scale demands of agencies and schools.

Future-Ready

Tools that help practitioners guide clients through uncertainty with confidence as the economy evolves.
