Kuder is pleased to announce that after a statewide evaluation from the Iowa Department of Education, we continue our long-standing role as a career and information system (CIS) vendor for the state of Iowa.


We have maintained our vendor status over the years by continuing to provide outstanding PreK-12 solutions such as Kuder Galaxy® and Kuder Navigator®. Many Iowa schools have selected Kuder as their preferred vendor for online college and career guidance solutions. We aim to enhance these partnerships and expand our services to other districts that can benefit from our dedication to Career and Technical Education (CTE) and the promise to promote and progress student growth throughout their journey.

“We are excited that the Iowa Department of Education has once again recognized Kuder as a certified vendor for the state of Iowa. Kuder continues to strive to provide comprehensive and evidence-based systems and tools that enhance the academic curriculums across K-12 education. As an approved vendor since 2017 and the additional three-year approval beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year, we look forward to strengthening our offerings throughout the state,” said John Milroy, Vice President of Client Relations at Kuder.

Among the multiple Iowa school districts that currently utilize Kuder systems: Galaxy (PreK-5 grade levels) and Navigator (6-12 levels) are Dubuque Community Schools, Sioux City Community Schools, and Waukee Community School District. These districts and others have shown appreciation and confidence in their selection of Kuder as their career readiness system vendor.

“The Kuder program does an excellent job of bringing everything together in this sometimes-overwhelming process.”

Jeff Lucas, Sioux City Community School District Counselor
