Framework

4 Pillars — How They Show Up in Content

🔵 Competence

Demonstrated through portfolio quality and FL Workforce Study 18 universal soft skills. Primary in Months 3, 5, 6. Tracked via HI Applied SEL (Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity).

🔴 Confidence

Built through iterative improvement, mock interviews, and the public showcase. Primary in Months 1, 4, 5, 7. Tracked via HI Adaptive Mindset and EE self-efficacy instruments.

🟠 Connection

Informational interviews, T3 mentor pairs, and near-peer relationships. Primary in Months 2, 3, 6. Tracked via mentor relationship quality survey at cycle close and HI Support Networking.

🟣 Character

Values clarification, personal statement, and reflection practices. Primary in Months 1, 4, 7. Tracked via EE instruments and portfolio reflection sections. Asset-based framing throughout.

Grade differentiation inside each pillar 9th graders build breadth within each pillar — sampling multiple sectors, exploring multiple values, building foundational professional skills. 11th graders build depth — concentrating on a chosen sector, writing a polished personal statement, completing a job-ready portfolio. Same pillar, different scaffold.

Measurement

HelloInsight Construct Map — What Each Month Activates

Design principle Work backward from HI constructs: if "Support Networking" (α=0.81) predicts career readiness growth, then every session in Months 2–3 must create a measurable networking experience — not just plan one.

Envision Positive Future

α = 0.87 · Strongest predictor

Month 1: Goal-setting, portfolio vision, "where I see myself" reflection
Month 7: Transition planning, action plan, alumni network framing

Support Networking

α = 0.81

Months 2–3: Informational interview training + execution
Month 5: LinkedIn development, professional email practice
Month 6: Industry mentor portfolio reviews

Build Relationships

α = 0.79

All months: Stable ~6-person small groups maintained
Month 1: Mentor assignments, norm-setting
Month 4: EE Taking Stock — relationships assessed

Broaden Possibilities

α = 0.81

Months 2–3: Healthcare, Tech, Professional Services sector exposure
Women of color speakers in non-traditional high-wage roles
Miami-Dade wage gap & labor market data workshops

Foster Reflection

α = 0.89 · Highest reliability

Every session: 10-min wrap-up journal/discussion
Month 4: EE Taking Stock — youth self-rate + discuss
Month 6: Portfolio revision cycles with structured peer critique

Applied SEL — Communication

α = 0.83

Months 2–3: Professional email, elevator pitch
Month 5: Cover letter + personal statement
Month 6–7: Mock interviews, portfolio presentation

Applied SEL — Collaboration

α = 0.81

All months: Peer feedback protocols in small groups
Month 6: Gallery walk critiques
Structured "lift as you climb" group norms throughout

Goal + Growth Orientation

α = 0.86 / 0.82

Month 1: Goal-setting foundation
Month 4: Mid-cycle goal revision
Month 7: Post-survey — growth documented
Portfolio revision cycles activate growth mindset

Career Knowledge & Skills

Sector-specific + FL Workforce 18

All months: Embedded in portfolio deliverables
Months 3–6: T2 partner industry workshops
Month 7: Post-survey measures against pre-survey baseline

Ceiling effect solution High-functioning participants (common in voluntary programs) who start at the top of HI scales show growth through portfolio quality progression — increasingly sophisticated resumes, cover letters, and personal statements are observable evidence regardless of survey ceiling. Person-centered analysis segments high-starters separately.
