Our Partners

Your private, trusted, secure ecosystem

We designed MARi from the ground up to be the center of your personal, trusted, privacy-based ecosystem.

For all of us here at MARi, when we're working to achieve our goals, we want to know the areas we are doing great AND just as importantly, where we are falling short. But we really don't want to share our skill gaps with just anyone – and we don’t think you do either.

MARi asks thought provoking questions about your goals, provides quizzes, learning games, and exercises to help you find out where you are hitting a home run and where you have some more work to do. MARi helps you collect the information that makes it easier to explore careers, apply for a job, fill out a resume, and close skill gaps. We fiercely protect your information. We make sure it is used for your benefit and shared with the people that you trust to help you – parents, teachers, coaches, and trusted friends.

MARi has built-in privacy controls that manage different levels of information based on its sensitivity rating.

You own your information.
We help you manage the flow of information between 3rd party apps and services based on your consent and the strength of their privacy policies.
We help you claim your information from the organizations that generate information about you: schools, employers, government agencies, etc.
Your data is portable. You can back it up, download it, and take it with you at any time.
You can still share — you just get to clearly choose with who.
It will always work this way, or you will have ample notifications and time to opt-out.
For Schools — MARi is FERPA Compliant.
For kids under 13 — MARi is COPPA Compliant.
For our schools, employers, and partners that are part of the MARi eco-system — you are collecting information about your students, employees, and members. You need this information. MARi ensures that you have what you need and the individual has what they need.

Overview of Terms
Overview of Privacy Policy

MARi’s skill repository and data analytics help employers and employees work together to close skill gaps at scale.

Quickly create deep-skill “jobs specs” for all the jobs in your organization - that allow students, candidates and current employees to match themselves to your job-ready needs.

Communicate in Depth

Communicate job requirements with an incredible level of detail. Quickly create in-depth job descriptions.

Candidates Match & Close Job Gaps

Get candidates that match your requirements. Let candidates match themselves to your job.

Guide Your Employees

Provide employees continuous guidance on how their skills match up to future jobs in your organization. Use your detailed job profile to provide feedback to the employees.

We make it easy for you.

We work with schools, colleges, government agencies, and non-profits to ensure that your job candidates have the skills you are looking for. Turn your job description into a detailed MARi Job Profile and let candidates see how they match up.

Here's what you do.

1. Upload a standard job description.

2. Customize your MARi Job Profile.

3. Filter the top candidates aligned to your requirements.

Time is Valuable

Life is too short to spend it filling out multitudes of online forms about who you are, what you are good at, where you can improve. And in some cases, we may not want to share our skills gaps with potential schools and employers. We just want to identify them and quickly close them.

An Eco-System of Resources

At MARi, we knew we could never be the domain experts to teach and guide a person in EVERY subject and skill. What we have done, though, is create a service that manages a trusted eco-system of subject matter experts that are equally committed to greater individual effectiveness and information privacy.

DigitalSelf™ - Toward a Lifelong Path

MARi is the result of 17 years of research & development focused on helping people more effectively get to where they want to go - in school, in career and in life. MARi is the first skills platform to take a “whole-person approach” - helping each person to build their lifelong DigitalSelf™.

Our Team.

Our Philosophies.

Greater awareness of one's knowledge, skills and abilities is fundamental to discovering that individual's potential. It is also beneficial to employers, schools and partners.

We believe that understanding what you are capable of should be free.

A community of people sharing resources to help better themselves and others is stronger, better and moves forward faster.

Everyone is unique. Our resources are flexible enough to adjust to each individual, creating personalized assessments and paths to get you to your destination - while safely guarding personal data.

Personal data about you, for you and by you is where we start. This data is incredibly powerful and we use it directly for your benefit. Its use must be transparent and protected.

Strong data security and privacy policy are extremely important. However, this does not mean reduced services, fewer options and less user control over personal information.

Users have complete control over their data. You can claim a copy of your data or even delete all or any portion of it at any time.

The Science of MARi.

MARi is all about understanding you!
By diving deep into everything that makes you unique, MARi begins to see your personal pattern. Your digital self is made up of tens of thousands of Personal Attributes - each is unique, and they are all interconnected to form an intelligent network. The more you interact with MARi, the more you'll be understood — and a deeper understanding will lead to better recommendations, personalization and guidance on your journey.

Managing Competency and Task Oriented Granularity in Shared User Models

One of the most fundamental challenges associated with sharing user model data between third-party independent learning applications is the matter of “grain-size”. Some applications acquire very fine-grained data about user actions and task completions. Other applications are only capable of more coarse observations and use a broader representation of skills, mastery levels, and competencies.

Managing Effects of Time on Human Memory

Acquiring new skills is only the beginning of demonstrating proficiency in a subject area and maintaining that proficiency over time. Numerous studies dating all the way back to Herman Ebbinghaus' foundational work in memory retention in 1885 and continuing to present day have documented the effects of time on human memories and skill retention.
