iLeader partner dashboard with sample data: coaching sessions over time, the coaches members choose most, coaching frequency by group and goal completion trend. — The partner dashboard, shown with sample data: coaching activity and goal progress for each group, never the content of a conversation. During co-design, measurement is tied to the student-success and accreditation outcomes you already report on.

The evidence

Non-cognitive skills predict academic outcomes more powerfully than test scores.

109 studies

Robbins et al. meta-analysis: academic self-efficacy, motivation, and goals predict persistence in college above and beyond GPA, cognitive tests, and SES.

Psychological Bulletin, 2004

15.7 pp

Increase in on-time high-school graduation per 1-SD increase in non-cognitive skills — roughly six times the 2.66 pp for test scores.

Jackson, Journal of Political Economy, 2018

What iLeader does for your institution

Four outcomes your institution is already trying to move.

Reduce dropout

Non-cognitive skills — self-efficacy, goal-setting, conflict resolution, resilience — predict persistence. iLeader gives every student access to coaching on those skills.

Increase graduation rates

Coaching supports students through the transition moments that cause dropout: first-year overwhelm, mid-program doubt, graduation-phase anxiety.

Boost employability and time-to-first-job

Role-play customized for job-interview preparation, professional communication, handling difficult workplace moments. The skills employers report missing in new graduates.

Extend your career services team

One-to-one coaching capacity for every student, job-seeker, and youth, in any language, 24/7 — beyond what office hours can reach.

Where iLeader fits

Five ways iLeader fits an academic program.

Career services augmentation — extend one-on-one career coaching to every student. Can also act as support to Career Advisors.
First-year experience and student success — self-management, communication, and resilience skills that predict persistence through the first-year high-risk window.
Graduation-phase support — career-choice anxiety, interview preparation, confidence, and stress in the final semester.
International and first-generation student support — coaching available 24/7 in their first language, navigating a new culture or first-in-family experience.
Commuter, part-time, and adult-learner support — populations who typically don't use in-person office hours.

Built for academic contexts

Compliance and reporting built for how academic institutions work.

Multilingual: English, Spanish, Nepali live today. Additional languages during customization — critical for international and first-generation student populations.
Outcome reporting: Formatted for student success and institutional effectiveness reporting.
Accessibility: Clear interaction patterns today. WCAG 2.1 AA conformance on our roadmap — accommodations for specific student populations scoped during onboarding.

Privacy and data

Privacy by architecture.

What your organization sees, what it never sees, and where we stand on compliance.

Partners see cohort-level results: skills progression, aggregated goal attainment and group-level Topic Insights.
Results are released only for groups of 10 or more.
Partners never see conversation content, individual sentiment or individual risk.
Every Coachee can delete their conversations, goals and history at any time.

Compliance status

SOC 2 Type II: On our roadmap, not certified.
GDPR and LGPD: Configured per deployment.
FERPA: School Official exception, set out in the contract.
In-region data residency: Scoped per deployment.
