Ready Set Onward is designed to help people find a practical next move without turning the experience into a government-style intake. We collect information when it helps build a Route, improve the experience, measure movement, or create privacy-safe pathway intelligence.

Some organizations may later require their own records for enrollment, employment, funding, or services. Those requirements belong to that organization’s process.
