Every high school student should be able to count on an engaged adult to provide accurate, actionable advice about college and career options. Career Compass offers small-group college and career coaching to high school freshmen and sophomores as an early intervention to get students on the right track toward earning their diploma and achieving their goals. Whether your students need help deciding on a Jump Start career pathway, or just need some extra guidance, small-group coaching can help your students get their college and career bearings. Key Benefits - A small-group setting allows students to partake in college and career coaching together. While they don’t have the privacy of a one-to-one session, coaches cultivate a collegial and confidential environment that encourages collaboration and participation. - Small-group coaching can be less costly than one-on-one coaching. - Designed with young high school students in mind, small-group sessions are designed to arm students with vital information about college and career pathways at a critical juncture in their educational careers. - Group seminars help students explore a variety of options and get exposed to many potential paths.

A Career Compass FAFSA coordinator will work with school level personnel to coordinate FAFSA completion efforts to comply with the new graduation requirement.
