The challenges facing schools and students today are widespread

Why We’re Here

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?
