"These People Just Keep Trying to Help Me"--Supporting Students to Succeed in College and Career Pathways
Jobs For the Future
Community college students today face multiple barriers--personal, financial, and academic--to achieving their postsecondary goals. In order to help more people juggle the myriad facets of daily life that make it difficult to stay in school and complete credentials, colleges need to deliver a broad range of support services in a coordinated manner. This brief highlights strategies for developing comprehensive supports to increase college and career success for underprepared youth and adults. It is part of a series from JFF's [Jobs For the Future's] conference Bridging the Gap: Postsecondary Pathways for Underprepared Learners.
