Speaking session

Purpose, Paychecks and Planning: What Students Really Want

On July 13 at 12:15pm, Xello and our educator panel conducted an insightful discussion on what Gen Z expects from the future, and how schools and educators can guide them in balancing personal fulfillment with financial realities.

Key topics discussed:

• The key mindset shifts shaping Gen Z’s approach to career and life planning
• The ways educators can support students in balancing personal purpose and future goals with financial realities
• How to help students weigh trade-offs between financial stability, career goals, and personal well-being

About Xello

We help K–12 school districts strengthen their CCR programs with an all-in-one platform that centralizes every aspect of your students’ future readiness journey and their ecosystem of support.

Students use Xello from elementary through high school to learn about the world of work, explore post-secondary options, and develop realistic plans for life after high school. On the back-end, we streamline critical workflows like course planning, college applications, and work-based learning coordination—and automate tracking and compliance reporting, so you can spend less time in excel and more time in the classroom and hallways, supporting your students.

But what our customers rave the most about, is Xello’s support. With a dedicated team of implementation experts and accessible human support for everyone in your district, we make Xello easy to launch and easy for educators and families to embrace.

Xello is a proud Gold sponsor of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and its annual educator conference. You can learn more about our partnership here.
