CATR — Career Advisory Team with Band

CATR is a Band-powered multi-agent career guidance system designed for students and parents seeking enhanced clarity in academic and career planning prior to selecting subjects, degrees, and future pathways. While initially focused on Pakistan, the issue it addresses—students, particularly in emerging markets, making academic decisions without structured guidance on subject selection, degree options, admission pathways, requisite skills, university choices, and career outcomes—is globally prevalent. CATR employs four specialized agents that collaborate via Band. The Assessment Agent extracts the student's profile, the Career Mapper Agent recommends appropriate career tracks, the Roadmap Planner Agent constructs a Pakistan-specific academic and career roadmap, and the Review & Decision Agent ensures quality, realism, assesses risk, and ultimately approves the final recommendation. The system exemplifies authentic agent-to-agent collaboration through Band, encompassing structured context sharing, task delegation, planning, review, and decision-making. CATR is not merely a chatbot; Band serves as the central collaborative layer, visibly facilitating context transfer and work coordination among agents. The product experience is presented through a React frontend, while the live Band chat showcases the multi-agent workflow. Future enhancements include a Schedule Planner Agent, calendar reminders, a parent/teacher review dashboard, student progress tracking, integration of university admission data, and PDF export functionality for final roadmaps.
