Student Programs
College and Career Preparation
Champions For Learning’s College and Career Preparation Program is designed to equip and prepare students for their future learning and career goals. Through the program, students will learn about the various options that are available to them post-graduation, including college programs and career opportunities. They gain valuable experience in how to make informed life decisions regarding their educational and vocational pursuits. Students prepare personal branding statements and personal goal setting.
Upon entering the program, students enroll in either the college pathway or the technical pathway. The program incorporates and emphasizes relevant skills and components that have been proven to be highly effective for students seeking either college readiness or career preparation: academic support, college and career planning, leadership and foundational skills development, college access, coaching, service learning, financial literacy, work experience, and family commitment and participation.
