Planning for Life After High School
A growing body of research shows that students and their families will tap into postsecondary access resources (career exploration and college access programs, financial aid, etc.) if those opportunities feel relevant to them.
When school leaders, teachers and counselors understand where their students and families are coming from, they can make recommendations for programs, courses and resources that support their needs and interests.
