Our goal with the Success Coach program is to reach more individuals in need of career planning services. Through collaboration with secondary education, workforce, and economic development, the Success Coach will CONNECT with students who have little or no postsecondary career goals. This collaboration can prove to be a powerful force for the state’s efforts to develop a highly skilled workforce.

Success Coaches will target high school students most in need of college and career planning services. The primary focus of the program is to work with free and/or reduced lunch students and/or those who would be first-generation college students. With the assistance of school administration, counselors, and faculty, Success Coaches will identify students for services while they are in middle and high school and encourage them to aspire to postsecondary education as a means to a career that will afford economic self-sufficiency.
