For schools

Why schools need this

Your counselors are not short on care. They are short on hours. Gigsup takes the work that does not need a human and gives those hours back to the conversations that do.

What guessing costs

0Students per counsellor in US public schools (ASCA 2024-25)
0Graduates underemployed in their first year out (Burning Glass / Strada)
0Post-secondary students who switch or drop their program
0Typical cost of a wrong-fit degree, tuition plus lost years

Every one of those numbers lands on a counselor's desk eventually. Usually in grade 12, usually too late to change the course selection that caused it.

You cannot see a caseload in a spreadsheet

The counselor portal shows where every student in your cohort actually is, across the three stages, and surfaces the ones who have stopped moving.

What your school gets

Counselors

The caseload, triaged

Cohort view, engagement, and automatic flags when a student stalls or a deadline is at risk. Two-way 1:1 booking so a student can reach you without an email chain.

Counselors

The admin work, gone

Course planning against real entering averages, scholarship matching, application tracking and reference requests, drafted by the agents and reviewed by you.

Students

Every student on Premium

A pilot puts the whole grade on the full product: VISI, the Aptitude Lab, matching, plans, essays and interview practice. Not a stripped free tier.

Parents

Parents in the loop, on consent

A parent view that shows progress and deadlines without handing over the journal. The student controls what is shared.

Administration

Outcomes you can report

Aggregate readiness, destination mix across university, trades, government and entrepreneurial routes, and year-over-year movement for your board.

IT

It plugs into what you already run

Blackbaud rostering and Google Classroom today, Canvas set up with your LMS admin, and Clever, ClassLink, PowerSchool and district SSO scoped with your IT lead in onboarding week. Data residency and consent handled per jurisdiction.

Start with one grade

A pilot is $10 per student per year, onboarding and counselor training included. Most schools start with a single grade and expand at the year boundary.
