College Readiness Track 

 This is a recommended track - It is not required for program certification

Attending college is an important and major decision in an individual’s life, and students make the decision based on varied reasons...the hope to secure a better paying job and a fulfilling career, to learn new things, to set an example for others, to address parental or societal expectations, and sometimes to literally just pass time!  While college life can be a wonderful experience, an unprepared student may find it more challenging than rewarding.

The College Readiness Track can help you assess your enthusiasm for attending college, identify your preferred learning style, gain an understanding for essential college processes and helpful resources on campus, find ways to get involved while maintaining academic and social balance, set educational goals, and commit to completing those goals.

Outcome

• Awareness - awareness of college processes, resources, support systems, activities, etc.
• Knowledge - knowledge of college readiness principles, individual learning strategies, student involvement, and commitment to completing educational goals
• Application - application of college readiness principles and strategies to achieve academic success
