Paper Acquires MajorClarity to Enhance Career Readiness Tools for High School Students
I In today's rapidly changing world, it is essential for high school students to have access to career readiness tools that can help them navigate their future career paths. With this in mind, Paper, a leading provider of educational software solutions, has recently announced its acquisition of MajorClarity, a platform that specialises in providing career exploration and readiness resources for high school students.
The acquisition of MajorClarity is a significant move for Paper, as it will enable the company to expand its offerings and provide a more comprehensive suite of tools and resources for high school students. By integrating MajorClarity's expertise and capabilities, Paper aims to provide a more personalised and engaging experience for students, helping them to make informed decisions about their future careers.

The MajorClarity tool provides students with insights into a wide range of career paths, from skilled trades to STEM fields to creative careers. Students can use the tool to explore different careers, learn about the education and training required for each, and gain insights into the day-to-day work of professionals in those fields.
"Career exploration not only gives purpose and meaning to academics—it's also the key to building the professional skills every student need, regardless of their career goals," said Joe Besterling, CEO of MajorClarity by Paper. "And in a world with rising student debt and changing workforce needs, rethinking career readiness is more imperative than ever."
"Paper and MajorClarity are both companies focused on academic success for all students. Bringing career readiness and academic support together in one place means students have the tools to discover the 'why' behind their education—then get the learning support they need to accomplish their goals," Belstering added.
The launch of MajorClarity by Paper is a part of the company's rapidly expanding Educational Support System. Earlier this month, Paper announced a new suite of learning tools that includes products addressing math skills, literacy, after-school programming, and college and career readiness. These offerings, plus on-demand virtual tutoring and writing review, are currently available to over three million students nationwide.
Paper's acquisition of MajorClarity demonstrates a commitment to supporting all high school students, regardless of their post-graduation plans. By providing students with career readiness tools, Paper is helping to ensure that all students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce, whether they choose to pursue college or not.
