Why Wayfinder
Resources
© Wayfinder, 2025
Today’s students face a future that demands more than content knowledge. To lead their own lives, they need decision-making and interpersonal skills that last well beyond graduation. In a recent analysis of over 80 million job postings, the top five durable skills—like leadership and communication—were mentioned nearly 4x more often than the top five technical skills. Yet in most schools, these critical skills go untaught. That gap leaves students unprepared for what’s next—and increasingly disconnected from their learning.
Educators are seeing rising absenteeism, growing anxiety, and a lack of post-graduation readiness. Academic prep alone isn’t enough.
Research shows that when students feel connected to their values and see purpose in their learning, they’re more likely to attend school, stay engaged, and succeed academically. When that connection is missing, students check out—and outcomes decline. Wayfinder helps stop that slide before it starts.
