Career Guidance at International Schools Is Broken — Not by People, but by Tools
Maria is Head of Careers at a 1,200-student international school in Dubai. She manages career guidance across four grade levels, two curricula, and students headed to universities in 30+ countries.
Her toolkit? Five spreadsheets, a shared inbox, and a filing cabinet she inherited three years ago.
Finding one student's complete career profile takes 15 minutes. Coordinating an alumni mentoring session takes three weeks. Tracking which Year 12 students still haven't explored post-graduation pathways? She checks manually, every Friday afternoon.
Maria isn't underperforming. She's under-equipped.

What Changes When International Schools Use TEX
