A large part of that solution is bridging the gap between college eligibility and college
readiness.

ready for the next step, as

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
16
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?
