For organizations

Start Small. Learn Quickly. Make Skills Visible.

A focused VizID pilot helps your organization introduce visual career identities to a defined participant group, gather feedback, and evaluate how VizID fits into your existing career-readiness programming.

A structured way to evaluate organizational fit before considering broader implementation.

What a pilot is

A Focused Introduction to VizID

A VizID pilot is a limited implementation with a defined cohort, agreed-upon goals, organizational support, and an end-of-pilot review. It gives participants and staff an opportunity to experience VizID while helping the organization evaluate implementation fit.

Defined cohort

A specific group of participants selected by the organization.

Agreed goals

Learning objectives the organization and VizID define together before launch.

Structured support

Staff orientation, onboarding materials and implementation guidance.

End-of-pilot review

A scheduled conversation about participation, feedback and fit.

A VizID pilot evaluates fit and implementation—it is not a request for participants to test an unfinished product.

What participants build

From Experience to a Visual Career Identity

Participants build one shareable profile that shows what they can do. Depending on their pathway, a VizID may include:

  • Career objective or introduction
  • Skills
  • Projects
  • Photos and videos
  • Work samples
  • Credentials
  • Recommendations
  • Employment and volunteer experiences
  • Career proof
  • Goals and progress
  • Résumé information

Potential pilot components

A Pilot May Include

  • Defined participant cohort
  • Staff orientation
  • Participant onboarding
  • Guided profile-building activities
  • Résumé-to-VizID transformation
  • Implementation check-ins

What the organization can learn

Evaluate the Questions That Matter

  • Did participants complete meaningful VizID profiles?
  • Which features were most useful?
  • Where did participants require additional support?
  • Did staff find VizID useful during career-readiness conversations?
  • Did profiles give appropriate reviewers more context?
  • How well did VizID fit into existing programming?
  • What implementation barriers appeared?
  • What should change before a broader rollout?
  • Is continued or expanded use appropriate?

Participant privacy and safety

Designed With Participant Protection in Mind

Age-aware account protections

Accounts adapt to the participant's age, with reduced public exposure for minors.

Protected opportunity routing for minors

Outside interest in a minor's profile is routed to program staff rather than the participant.

Organization-supported participation

Participants join through their program, with staff able to support them along the way.

Profile and sharing controls

Builders decide what appears on their VizID and when a link is shared.

Privacy-conscious communication

Contact flows are designed to limit unnecessary exposure of participant details.

Adult-only checkout where applicable

Purchases are restricted to adult account holders.

What happens after the pilot

The Pilot Ends With a Review—not an Automatic Commitment

At the end of the agreed pilot period, VizID and the organization may review:

  • Participation
  • Feedback
  • Implementation challenges
  • Product fit
  • Desired improvements
  • Continued-use interest
  • Potential expansion
  • Pricing and licensing options
  • Appropriate next steps

Completing a pilot does not automatically commit the organization to a larger purchase. Service beyond the agreed pilot period requires a new agreement.

Pilot scope and pricing

Built Around Your Program

Pilot scope and pricing depend on the cohort, duration, support needs, organizational requirements, and agreed deliverables.

Questions

Pilot Program FAQ

What is a VizID pilot?

A limited implementation with a defined cohort, agreed-upon goals, organizational support and an end-of-pilot review. It is designed to evaluate implementation fit.

Is the pilot a free trial?

A VizID pilot offers more support and structure than a standard free trial. VizID and the organization define the cohort, goals, implementation approach, support needs, and review process together. Pilot scope and pricing are discussed with each organization.

How many participants can join?

The cohort size is determined with each organization based on its programming, staffing, goals, and desired level of support, but typically 20–30 participants.

How long does a pilot last?

The pilot duration is agreed upon during planning based on the organization’s program calendar, goals, and what it wants to learn, but typically 4–6 weeks.

Which organizations can participate?

Schools and CTE programs, trade and vocational schools, workforce development organizations, colleges and career services, apprenticeship and internship programs, and employer-sponsored emerging-talent programs.

Can minors participate?

Participation by minors is possible when the organization provides appropriate age and consent information. Age-aware protections apply, including reduced public exposure and staff-routed outside contact.

What does staff need to do?

Participating staff typically attend an orientation, help select and onboard participants, schedule implementation time, support participants during profile building, and share feedback.

Can a pilot fit into existing programming?

A pilot is usually designed to run inside existing career-readiness activities rather than alongside them. Fit is part of what the pilot is meant to evaluate.

What technology is required?

Participants need a laptop, tablet or smartphone with internet access. A camera is useful for photographing work. Nothing needs to be installed.

What will participants build?

A visual career identity that may include a career objective, skills, projects, photos and videos, work samples, credentials, recommendations, experiences, career proof, goals and progress, and résumé information.

What information can the organization review?

Reporting depends on the organization's role, participant permissions and available VizID reporting. Which measures are available is confirmed during planning.

Do participants keep access after the pilot?

Continued access depends on the agreement, sponsorship, plan or the participant's own subscription status after the pilot period. We confirm what applies to your cohort before launch rather than promising permanent access.

What happens when the pilot ends?

VizID and the organization hold a review covering participation, feedback, challenges, product fit and possible next steps. Service beyond the agreed pilot period requires a new agreement.

Does a pilot commit us to a larger purchase?

No. Completing a pilot does not automatically commit the organization to a larger purchase.

How is pilot pricing determined?

Pilot scope and pricing depend on the cohort, duration, support needs, organizational requirements and agreed deliverables.
