Real salary data, AI disruption risk ratings, and hidden career paths, all mapped to your students' actual subject combinations.
Free access during beta · No commitment required
Most careers tools give students a list of jobs. Pekanga gives them intelligence: salary ranges, how much AI will reshape each role, non-degree routes their teachers haven't mentioned, and hidden gem careers their combination unlocks.
It takes two minutes. Students enter their subjects. They get a report built around their actual choices, not a generic interest questionnaire.
Median, lower, and upper quartile salary ranges from UK LMI: not aspirational figures. Students see what the role actually pays at different career stages.
A five-tier framework that's deliberately honest. We don't reassure students that every job is safe. We tell them what the evidence actually shows, with context.
Every subject combination surfaces careers students and advisors rarely discuss. High-demand, well-paid roles that fall outside the standard shortlists.
Degree apprenticeships, professional qualifications, and direct entry routes. Not as an afterthought: a first-class option alongside traditional university paths.
One-click PDF evidence reports for Benchmarks 2 and 4, ready for Ofsted inspection. Session data, subjects explored, careers opened, with authorisation fields included.
Students get a full personalised careers report in under two minutes. No login required during beta. No lengthy questionnaires. Instant, actionable intelligence.
Students select their A-Levels, BTECs, T-Levels, or mixed qualifications from the subject picker.
The platform maps their combination to career pathways, including ones they won't find in a standard search.
Each career shows salary data, AI risk rating, routes in (degree and non-degree), and related pathways.
Careers leaders export a PDF evidence record for Ofsted, automatically generated from session activity.
Pekanga doesn't ask you to change how you work. It fits the statutory guidance your school already operates under and creates the evidence trail to prove it.
Every Pekanga session generates an audit trail. When an Ofsted inspector asks for evidence of Benchmark 2 or 4 compliance, your careers leader exports a signed PDF report (session counts, subjects explored, careers opened, and authorisation fields) in under 60 seconds.
Pekanga started with a founder's frustration: his own children didn't know what they didn't know. Careers guidance in most schools is underfunded, overstretched, and skewed toward well-trodden paths. The students who most need honest intelligence are the ones least likely to get it.
We're building a platform that works for every school. For those who can pay, it pays for itself many times over in staff time and Ofsted evidence. For those who can't, we intend to make it free or near-free, funded by the schools that can.
And beyond the UK, our longer-term ambition is simpler still: honest, high-quality career guidance for young people who have access to none at all.
"Pekanga": te reo Māori for a branching path. A name chosen deliberately: every young person deserves a fair choice at the fork in the road.
Independent schools, academies, sixth form colleges, and MATs. The platform is built for all of them. No school should have to choose between Ofsted compliance and giving students genuinely useful guidance.
Schools with limited budgets shouldn't give their students worse guidance. Our commercial revenue funds subsidised or free access for schools that need it most.
Longer term, our ambition extends beyond the UK. Millions of young people worldwide make life-defining choices with no career guidance whatsoever. We intend to change that.
Flat annual licence per school. No usage caps, no per-student fees.
Single-school pricing reflects school size. MAT pricing depends on trust size, school roll, and phase — every trust is different enough that a tailored proposal is the honest approach.
