Field-Changing Initiative

Scaling High-Quality
Postsecondary & Career PathwayAdvising

Built alongside expert advising organizations to dramatically scale and enhance advisors, counselors, and coaches to help more students make informed choices about their postsecondary pathways and careers.








The Converging Challenges

01

Not Enough Advisors

350:1 student-to-advisor ratio nationally is worsening, increasing the need to enable more advisors efficiently and effectively

02

Crisis in Postsecondary ROI

30%+ of 2 and 4 year undergraduates only see a ROI from college within 10 years, if ever

03

Lack of Quality Information

More postsecondary options create unmet need for quality trusted content and guidance across multiple topics

04

Shrinking Budgets

Over $1.5B lost in latest budget cuts is causing huge strain on K-12 and AmeriCorps/Trio programs

Result: Students are facing increased risk of making poor decisions about one of life's biggest investments - their postsecondary path and career.

What the Research Shows

Students with trusted adult guidance are twice as likely to succeed

Humans matter

Quality
matters

Outcomes
matter

Students need help understanding postsecondary pathway options with clear ROI, not just college
