    Our theory of action to build an on-ramp to postsecondary success

    By offering innovative programming and helping schools re-think the traditional school day, College & Career Readiness is building an on-ramp to post-secondary success, where students:

     

    1. Successfully participate in Dual Enrollment, Career Pathways, Work-Based Learning and/or College Preparation Courses
    2. Graduate high school
    3. Earn a college degree
    4. While attending college, work (as necessary) in a career field with potential for advancement
