Level All’s Oregon EPP and HECPS Tool: Simple, Comprehensive, and Free

August 3, 2026

Oregon has two requirements converging on the same work: the Education Plan and Profile, which every student must build starting in 7th grade, and the new Higher Education and Career Path Skills, a half-credit, state-mandated readiness course that cohorts in 2026–2027 and beyond must complete to graduate. Level All was built to support both, together, not as two separate compliance headaches.

‍

What Oregon Actually Requires

Every Oregon student needs an Education Plan and Profile (EPP) that maps their academic, career, and personal goals.

The EPP, grades 7–12. Every student needs a plan identifying career interests, educational and career goals, and a monitored course of study. It must be reviewed and updated at least annually, following the student through school transfers.
HECPS, a half-credit, arriving now. Four strands (self-advocacy, career exploration and preparation, postsecondary readiness, and workforce readiness) are required as part of the 24-credit diploma for students graduating in 2026-27 and beyond.
A hard staffing deadline. Districts could waive HECPS for one year only, for 2026–27, and only for lack of qualified educators. No waivers exist for the class of 2028 onward.

‍

A district that took the one-year waiver has one school year left to solve a staffing gap most weren’t expecting to need to solve. That’s not a someday problem.

How Level All Makes It Manageable

Built against ODE’s own published criteria, not a generic feature list. HECPS’s four strands (self-advocacy, career exploration and preparation, postsecondary readiness, workforce readiness) map directly onto Level All’s existing content, crosswalked against ODE’s Recommended Instructional Materials Criteria for HECPS.
Deliverable by the staff Oregon already has. A school counselor or restricted-CTE-licensed teacher can deliver this content directly, addressing the exact staffing gap the waiver process was built around.
The EPP, built to last, not filed once. Every step a student completes feeds into a living plan and portfolio that includes career interests, goals, coursework, badges, and CTE concentrations and follows them from grade 7 through graduation.
Aligned with the state’s own counseling framework. Oregon’s Comprehensive School Counseling Program is built on the ASCA National Model, and ODE names the ASCA Student Standards as its counseling standards. Level All’s content is built around that same framework.
Real-time counselor dashboard. Counselors see exactly where each student stands on their EPP and HECPS progress, who’s on track, and where the gaps are, across the whole school.

‍

The dashboard is usually where Oregon counselors have their “this changes everything” moment. Filter by grade, flag students behind on their annual EPP update or their HECPS credit, or pull a report before a district review, all at the touch of a button.

‍

Free and Ready When You Are

No cost, unlike the state’s own named system. Oregon CIS, the state’s official career information system, requires a cost. Level All is free.
The ask is adoption time, not budget. Districts already have both a spending requirement and a reporting obligation under High School Success. This fits inside work already underway, not a new line item.
