New name, same mission. Career Guidance Network helps your teen find work that fits —
then build the path to get there. Start free with EVA, your AI advisor.
Every teenager gets asked "so what do you want to do?" Career Guidance Network helps your family actually answer it — and then build the plan to get there.
CAREER GUIDANCE NETWORK: AI CAREER & COLLEGE PLANNING FOR FAMILIES
Formerly College Guidance Network. CGN is built for families who want a clear, expert-backed plan for life after high school — a four-year college, a two-year program, a trade, the military, or straight into work. Ask EVA, our AI advisor trained on guidance from 400 admissions, financial-aid, and career professionals, anything you want, any time, in nine languages including Spanish.
Already have a code from your school or counselor? Sign in and your roadmap is waiting.
ALWAYS INCLUDED (FREE) • EVA, your AI advisor — Ask anything about careers, colleges, majors, testing, or paying for it • Interactive Notebook — Save answers, track tasks, and share notes with your teen • Smart Video Picks — Short expert clips matched to your questions and grade level
UPGRADE TO CGN COMPLETE • Career Explorer — Find careers that fit your teen's strengths and interests, and see exactly what each one takes • Personalized Roadmap & Checklists — Know what to do each month, from 8th grade forward • Every path supported — Four-year, two-year, CTE, military, workforce, or a gap year; the roadmap adapts to the one your teen picks • More EVA Success Tools — College List Builder, Essay Brainstorming, Essay Review, Interview Prep • Resource Center — 2,000+ searchable videos, guides, and PDFs from 400 experts • Live Programs — Regular Q&A sessions with nationally recognized counselor Brennan Barnard • Deadline Reminders — Notifications for testing, aid, and application dates, so nothing gets missed • Work together — Invite your teen to their own free account and share one synced roadmap
Try CGN Complete free for 14 days, then keep it with affordable monthly or annual plans. A year of CGN Complete costs less than an hour with a private counselor.
WHY FAMILIES TRUST CGN • Clarity, not chaos — Turn confusing rules into a plan you can actually follow • No single right answer — Career-first guidance that doesn't assume college is the only destination • 24/7 — Reliable answers whenever the questions come up, in the language you speak at home • Expert-curated — Advice drawn from leading admissions, financial-aid, and career voices, not a search engine • Built for two — Parent and teen work from the same roadmap. Your conversations with EVA stay private.
