+ College & Careers:What it isn’t.

IRONICALLY, COLLEGE & CAREERS ISN’T:

Choosing a specific college.

Choosing a specific career (it’s way too soon).

+ College & Careers: what it is.

COLLEGE & CAREERS IS:

Connecting kids with their interests.

Empowering kids with infor mation to guide them.

Pointing kids toward the direction that makes sense for them.

Helping kids become the person they want to be.

+ Think of it this way.

It’s not about choosing

A COLLEGE. It’s not about choosing

A CAREER. It’s about finding

A CONNECTION.

which will lead to

college & careers.

+ Why it matters.

you’re more likely to keep walking.
