From workforce data to funded outcomes
Turn proof of talent into funding.
zScale is the verified workforce intelligence layer for the institutions that build talent. Colleges, EDCs and workforce boards use it to prove their pipeline, stand out from their peers and turn outcomes into funding.

See the workforce tools→What the platform does
Verified by the institutions themselves
The numbers come from the colleges, EDCs and workforce boards that own the pipeline. They confirm what is true, correct what is stale and stand behind the record. Vendors who only scrape job postings cannot claim that.
Ask in plain English
You can also query the data conversationally. The numbers stand on their own.
