Our Story

XAP provides K20 educators and administrators with online solutions for students of all ages to move through career discovery and planning to concrete next steps such as resume building and college applications.

Online college application support since the 1980s

XAP has been a trailblazer in the education industry since 1988, creating the very first online college application, XAPplication. With years of experience helping students and educators, we understand that planning futures extends beyond college applications.

Resources for students to explore their passions

Educators need time-saving resources to support students in the college application process. Equally important, students require tools to explore their interests, talents, and career options to successfully transition to the workforce.

Building plans for success

That's why we developed Choices360, the comprehensive career and college readiness platform chosen by states like West Virginia, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. Join us in inspiring students to discover their future and build a plan for success.

THE FUTURE OF XAP

In April 2024, XAP was acquired by Embrace Software Inc., which acquires and invests in niche software providing industry-specific solutions.

I like that Choices360 allows for students to explore different options through career and skill-based assessments and provides the flexibility for students to learn more about themselves while empowering them by highlighting how the knowledge they already have can benefit them in the future.

Choices360 has been an effective tool in helping our students explore career and post-secondary education options and create cumulative career plans. I'm a big fan!

XAP and the North Dakota Career Resource Network have worked together to provide career information and exploration to students in North Dakota for over 15 years.
