YouScience Will Set Preble County Students Up For Success

With YouScience, students can feel confident about their future, and parents can see clear pathways for their children's success after graduation. YouScience is a groundbreaking platform about to make its debut in Preble County schools. As the Preble County Development Partnership moves forward with supporting the integration of YouScience in Preble County school districts, we're excited to share how this innovative tool can shape the future for students, families, and employers in our community.

What Is YouScience?

YouScience is an aptitude-based guidance platform designed to help students discover their natural talents, validate their skills, and connect with personalized educational and career pathways. Unlike traditional assessments that rely on academic metrics or interest-based surveys, YouScience uses fun, game-like exercises to uncover innate abilities—the key to unlocking each student's full potential. With the help of AI-powered tools, the platform bridges the gap between education and industry, empowering students to thrive academically and professionally. 

In nearby Springfield, OH, the Springfield City School District has been using YouScience since 2022 and has seen tangible benefits for overall student development. "YouScience has been a game-changer for our students," says Ronald Gordon, Director of Community Initiatives at SCSD. “By helping them understand their natural strengths and how those align with real-world career opportunities, we're not just preparing them for graduation—we're preparing them for life.”

Why YouScience Matters for Preble County

In today's fast-paced economy, success depends on aligning individual talents with the right opportunities. For students in Preble County, YouScience offers:

• Enhance academic engagement by connecting classroom learning to real-world careers
• Craft personalized career pathways, including insights into students' aptitudes, interests, and best-fit career options.
• Gain a competitive edge with over 200 industry-recognized certifications available
• Connect with local employers to find a job that meets each student's unique career aptitudes

How It Works 

The YouScience journey begins with engaging brain games that measure a student's natural aptitudes—problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and idea generation. These results match careers and educational pathways that align with each student's strengths. Through their personalized dashboard, students can:

• Explore careers they might never have considered.
• Plan their courses and postsecondary options.
• Earn certifications that validate their skills.
• Connect with work-based learning opportunities and potential employers.

Educators and administrators benefit, too, with access to powerful analytics that simplifies graduation planning, career guidance, and program improvements.

Jamison Truebenbach, Chief Academic Officer at Global Impact STEM Academy in Springfield, OH, explains, “YouScience is making a significant difference for our students. It helps them identify their strengths early on and gives them a clear picture of the careers they're best suited for. It's incredibly rewarding to see students' eyes light up when they realize the possibilities ahead of them.”

The Road Ahead

As YouScience assessments roll out at the end of the quarter, parents play a crucial role in supporting this initiative. By embracing this innovative platform, you can help your child unlock their potential and take meaningful steps toward a successful future. The Preble County Development Partnership is committed to ensuring that every student has the tools they need to thrive—and YouScience is a powerful step in that direction.
