What you receive

KinTrades®Skilled-trades marketplace
Student EditionEducation to opportunity
KinComply™Evidence and reporting

One shared foundation

  • Marketplace and matching
  • A separate, secure environment for each partner
  • Sign-in and access by role
  • Links to the systems you already use
  • Verification and reporting
Every platform runs on the same foundation, so a new partner starts from tested parts configured for them, not a custom build.

Every licensing partnership includes

  • Your platform in your name and colors, at your own web address
  • KinComply verification and reporting, where your program needs it
  • Setup with your team, covering your rules, consent, eligibility and reports
  • Training for your staff, and a help center for everyone who uses it
  • Hosting, security, updates and ongoing support from KinTech
  • A one-time setup fee, then an annual subscription sized to your program

How it works

The platforms already run. We configure them for your program, so your people can start sooner.

  1. Design together

    We map your program’s rules, consent, eligibility, measures and reports with your team.

  2. Make it yours

    Your program’s name and colors, at your own web address.

  3. Test with you

    Your team tries every step before participants, students or employers arrive.

  4. Train and support

    Live training for your staff, a help center for everyone, and a named contact at KinTech.

Prefer to start small? You can begin with a pilot on a single program. See how a pilot works

Your organization

  • Runs the program and sets its rules
  • Keeps the relationship with participants, students and employers
  • Makes eligibility, placement and academic decisions
  • Confirms the outcomes it is responsible for

KinTech

  • Configures, hosts and secures the platform
  • Keeps it updated and accessible
  • Trains your staff and supports your users
  • Keeps the evidence trail and reports running

Pricing is a one-time setup fee, then an annual subscription for the platform and, where your program needs it, KinComply. We send a written quote after a first conversation.

Security, privacy and access

Programs trust us with people’s records. These protections come with every license.

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in Microsoft Azure in United States regions, monitored, and backed up with tested restores
  • Each partner’s records kept separate, with access by role
  • Written consent recorded at sign-up, and a parent or guardian’s consent for students under 18
  • Built to WCAG 2.1 AA, which meets the Section 508 standard, and audited in March 2026
  • Your program’s data is used only for your program, never sold, and can be exported at any time
  • Details in KinComply’s security and data handling page

Questions buyers ask

Is this a custom build?

No. You license platforms that are already running, configured for your program with your rules, your reports and your name. If you need something new, we scope it with you before anything is promised.

Can several schools or sites share one platform?

Yes. A college system, district or statewide program can run one platform under its own brand. Each school or site sees only its own people, and the program office sees across all of them.

Do we have to replace our case-management system?

No. KinComply works alongside the systems your program already uses and concentrates on the evidence and reporting around each outcome.

Who owns our program’s data?

Your program’s data is used only for your program and is never sold. You can export it at any time.

How long does setup take?

It depends on your program’s rules, its consent requirements and the systems we connect to. We agree on a plan and dates with your team during setup.

Can we start with a pilot?

Yes. A pilot on a single program lets you see the platform with your own people before a wider rollout. See how a pilot works
