About the course

The College & Career Readiness Course – Series 2 is a four‑week, project‑based learning experience designed for students who are ready to go deeper. Students explore real challenges impacting healthcare careers, research how education opens doors to opportunity, and develop their own solution to a meaningful problem. Through guided lessons, reflection, and a final presentation, learners strengthen critical thinking, communication, and problem‑solving skills while connecting their interests to real-world career pathways. This course helps students move beyond exploration and into purposeful thinking about their future.

"Week by week, I watched students become more confident—not just in what they wanted to do, but in who they are. This course opened doors for real conversations and real growth."

”
"Before this course, I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to do after high school. We always hear "go to college," but no one ever explains how. The lessons helped me figure out what I’m interested in and what jobs match my strengths. I even found a healthcare career that fits me perfectly. Now I feel like I have a real plan, not just a dream."

"This wasn’t just worksheets—it was real talk about money, college, careers, and life. I finally feel like I’m planning my future, not guessing."

"I used to think college and healthcare jobs were only for certain types of people, not someone like me. But learning about scholarships, hearing real stories, and taking the Agilities test helped me see I’m more prepared than I thought. This course made me realize I have what it takes—I just needed the tools and information."
