DESCRIPTION
Close the gap between students who are eligible for post-secondary education or a career path, and those who are ready to succeed. Schools tell us, and what we’re aiming for, is to help ensure students are ready to succeed in whatever path they choose by the time they leave 12th grade.

Assess and Discuss
Students have strong aspirations, but there is a disconnect between what students want to do with their lives and knowing how they will get there.
The Student’s Perspective
How Will I Get There?Once students figure out what they want to do, they have to determine how to get there
Who Am I?Many students struggle to identify areas of strength
What Do I Want To Be?Those who recognize their
skills are often unsure where to apply them
Will I Be Successful?Students want to know if
they will have the qualifications and skills to
reach their goals
Educators wish to help all students reach their full potential. But how?
