This year’s OSCA conference highlighted a challenge that many guidance counselors already know well: students don’t know what they don’t know. Post-secondary pathways have always been complex, and students often misunderstand prerequisites, overlook key course choices, or wait too long to plan. In the past, guidance departments had the time to walk students through every option in detail. Today, with heavier caseloads, that level of individualized research is difficult to sustain.

Fosterway was built to help.

Our platform gives students instant clarity about their post-secondary options. Using the free Fosterway platform, students can immediately see which programs they qualify for based on their courses and grades. Just as importantly, if they’re not yet eligible, the platform shows them exactly what steps to take to get back on track.

We received a tremendous response at the OSCA conference, reflecting strong interest and adoption across Ontario. Counselors are eager for a tool that supports students while easing workload, and Fosterway delivers on both.

By bringing all pathways into one place, Fosterway helps students discover options they may have otherwise missed and gives guidance teams a scalable way to provide meaningful support. The platform complements your expertise, encourages students to explore their options independently, and enables counselors to focus on high-impact guidance.

We invite OSCA members to see why so many of your peers are signing up and to try Fosterway for free at https://students.fosterway. com/

Let’s build on the momentum from OSCA and give every student a clearer path forward.
