According to Educación al Futuro (2015), in our country at least 70% of students do not know which career path to choose when they finish high school. This situation results in an elevated dropout rate in higher education that amounts to 170,000 students annually including students from public and private sectors. In this context, the main causes are the lack of vocational orientation and the absence of adequate financial planning. For this reason, various agile methodologies such as Design Thinking and Lean Startup were used to find a solution to this problem and as a result Vocativo was developed. This vocational counseling mobile application with a comprehensive approach aimed at young people who intend to undergo higher education. In addition, it aims to solve the two main causes of higher education desertion. First, it focuses on providing adequate vocational orientation for students, based on psychological evaluations, segmented information and professional counseling. Second, it focuses on providing useful information and tools to the students' parents in order to ensure an adequate financial planning, since they are the ones who cover their children's tuitions fees. Based on the above, Vocativo is presented as an innovative solution since currently there is no alternative of a career orientation app on the market. On the one hand, it contributes to social sustainability by positively influencing the academic future of young people and their future work. On the other hand, the application is exponential in nature, due to the growing interest of young people in pursuing higher education, a reality that extends to different regions of the country. Finally, it has a business model that helps it generate great value and, therefore, enables its financial sustainability.
