OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE HELD EVENTS THAT EXAMINED HOW COLLEGE PROMISE PROGRAMS PROVIDE NOT ONLY FINANCIAL SUPPORTS BUT ALSO ACADEMIC SUPPORTS, COUNSELING AND ADVISING TO HELP STUDENTS GET INTO COLLEGE AND COMPLETE A DEGREE. WE ALSO FOCUSED ON HOW SERVICE PROGRAMS HELP YOUNG PEOPLE DEVELOP THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS AND SUCCESS.
EXTENDING LEARNING AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT - THIS PROGRAMMATIC AREA EXAMINES HOW YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BE BETTER PREPARED FOR SUCCESS IN TODAYS LABOR MARKET AND SOCIETY BY ENSURING THAT YOUTH HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP A WIDE RANGE OF SKILLS, IN ADDITION TO ACADEMIC SKILLS, SUCH AS SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL, DEEPER LEARNING, EMPLOYABILITY, OCCUPATIONAL, AND PERSONAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS. OUR WORK IN THIS AREA EMPHASIZES STRATEGIES FOR YOUTH TO DEVELOP THESE SKILLS IN NON-SCHOOL SETTINGS, SUCH AS AFTERSCHOOL AND WORK-BASED LEARNING. ONE EVENT EXAMINED HOW SERVICE PROGRAMS DEVELOP THE SKILLS NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN THE WORKPLACE, INCLUDING TEAMWORK, COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, AND SUPERVISION.
PERSONALIZED LEARNING - EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS NEED TO BE PERSONALIZED BASED ON THE ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS, INTERESTS, STRENGTHS, AND CAREER AND LIFE GOALS OF EACH STUDENT.
