Why Choose Us
We understand the pressure you're under in vocational training—balancing hands-on skill development with administrative demands. You're not alone; many schools we've partnered with felt buried under spreadsheets tracking everything from welding certifications to automotive repair outcomes. Our approach starts with empathy: we listen to your unique workflow, then engineer a unified dashboard that integrates your LMS, attendance systems, and employer feedback tools. No more flying blind. Imagine a single view showing real-time trainee progress, like how many HVAC apprentices hit their milestone benchmarks this quarter. We build it custom, scalable for your growth, so you own a system that evolves with your programs.

Streamline Scalable Learning: As your enrollment grows from 200 to 500 students in vocational cohorts, our dashboards scale effortlessly, tracking performance metrics like hands-on lab proficiency across multiple campuses. Reduce admin time by 40% on accreditation reporting, freeing instructors to focus on practical simulations rather than manual data entry in spreadsheets.
Empower Informed Decisions
Empower Informed Decisions: Access real-time KPI tracking for program ROI, like correlating curriculum adjustments in competency-based modules with a 20% increase in employer satisfaction scores from post-graduation surveys. This data-backed approach helps secure funding and grants by demonstrating tangible results, such as a 15% rise in graduate employability within three months of certification.
What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, we were piecing together attendance and progress data from our Moodle LMS and email chains—it took our team two full days every month just to compile reports on nursing program milestones. Now, the custom dashboard delivers real-time certification tracking and dropout risk alerts, slashing our reporting time to under an hour. Last fall semester, those insights helped us improve on-time completions by 18% through timely academic interventions.""
Maria Gonzalez
Program Director of Nursing Education, Midwest Vocational Institute
""As a small trades school with limited staff, proving job placement rates to accreditors was a nightmare using our outdated Excel spreadsheets. AIQ's custom dashboard seamlessly integrates our employer feedback surveys and placement trackers, giving us clear visualizations. As a result, our welding program grads now achieve 92% placement within six months, up from 75% last year—it's like having a dedicated data analyst for our operations.""
James Patel
Operations Manager, Apex Technical College
""We serve 300 auto mechanics trainees across three urban sites, and data silos between our assessment tools and instructor notes were stifling our growth. AIQ's dashboard unified it all, from digital skill assessments to real-time feedback loops with apprentices. In the first quarter after implementation, we pinpointed resource shortages in evening hybrid classes and reallocated instructors, raising trainee satisfaction scores from 7.2 to 8.9 out of 10.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards integrate with our existing vocational management systems?
We specialize in deep, custom integrations tailored to education tools like Moodle, Canvas, or even proprietary LMS platforms used in trades training. The process begins with a thorough audit of your current setup—say, pulling attendance from your scheduling software and performance data from assessment tools. Our engineers use secure APIs to create bidirectional data flow, ensuring real-time updates without manual uploads. For a recent vocational partner, this meant syncing electrician trainee logs directly into the dashboard, cutting integration time from weeks to days. You'll own the connections, so no vendor lock-in, and we provide full documentation for your IT team to maintain. This setup not only eliminates silos but also scales as you add programs, like expanding to plumbing certifications, keeping your data unified and actionable.
What specific KPIs can we track for student outcomes in vocational programs?
Our dashboards focus on metrics that drive vocational success, such as completion rates, skill proficiency scores, and time-to-certification. For example, in a welding program, you might track arc time mastery or safety compliance rates alongside overall dropout predictions. We customize these based on your curriculum—pulling in job placement percentages within 90 days of graduation, employer satisfaction feedback, and even ROI per trainee cohort. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, we build in AI to highlight trends, like how curriculum changes impact employability in automotive repair. A partner school saw their placement rate KPI jump from 75% to 89% after using these insights to refine training modules. Everything is visualized in intuitive charts, with drill-downs for deeper analysis, empowering administrators to make data-driven tweaks that boost outcomes without overwhelming your team.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom dashboard for our school?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most vocational schools see a fully functional dashboard in 6-8 weeks. We kick off with a two-week discovery phase to map your workflows, like integrating data from hands-on lab trackers and instructor notes. Then, 3-4 weeks for building and testing the core features, ensuring it handles real-time updates for 200+ trainees. The final two weeks cover deployment, training, and tweaks based on your feedback. For a culinary training provider, we delivered an MVP in five weeks that tracked kitchen rotation progress, with full rollout including mobile access shortly after. This phased approach minimizes disruption to your daily operations, and we include post-launch support to optimize as you scale, such as adding metrics for new apprenticeship intakes.
Are these dashboards secure for handling sensitive student data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in education, especially with FERPA compliance for vocational records. We build with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and regular audits to protect trainee details like performance assessments or certification histories. Data is stored in your owned system, not scattered across third-party clouds, reducing breach risks. For instance, a partner in healthcare training used our dashboard to securely share anonymized outcome stats with accreditors, all while keeping personal info locked down. We incorporate features like audit logs for every access and AI-driven anomaly detection to flag unusual activity. Our team, with backgrounds in edtech security, ensures the setup meets industry standards, giving you peace of mind as you focus on scalable learning rather than compliance worries.
Can the dashboard scale as our vocational programs grow?
Yes, our custom builds are designed for growth, handling everything from 50 trainees in a single trade to 1,000+ across multiple campuses. We use robust frameworks that auto-scale with your needs, like adding new data streams for emerging programs in renewable energy tech. A mid-sized school we worked with started with basic enrollment tracking and expanded to full predictive analytics within a year, supporting a 40% enrollment surge without performance dips. The system includes modular architecture, so you can plug in expansions—like employer partnership metrics—seamlessly. We also build in efficiency tools, such as automated archiving for historical data, to keep things fast. Ultimately, this ownership model means your dashboard evolves with your school's ambitions, turning data into a strategic asset for long-term success.
What kind of support do you provide after the dashboard is built?
Post-build, we offer comprehensive support to ensure your team maximizes the dashboard's value in daily vocational operations. This includes a 90-day optimization period with bi-weekly check-ins to refine features, like fine-tuning alerts for at-risk CNC machining students based on usage data. We provide hands-on training sessions—virtual or on-site—for administrators and instructors, covering everything from interpreting job placement KPIs to customizing views. Ongoing, you get access to our knowledge base, priority email support, and optional quarterly reviews to adapt to changes, such as new accreditation requirements. One partner, a trades academy, used our support to integrate seasonal apprenticeship data, resulting in a 20% efficiency gain in resource planning. It's all about empowering you to own and iterate, without the hassle of managing it alone.
