The National College Access Network, with the support of Strada Education Network, has pursued work that helps its members and the field of college access connect college and career success. This work takes the form of case studies, webinars, white papers, and conference sessions that bring together diverse voices from across the NCAN membership to share their strategies and knowledge. One of these conference sessions took place at NCAN's National Conference in San Diego in September 2017. The session, "Connecting College and Career Success: Implementing and Managing Services for Students," focused on the concrete practices and policies that help programs initiate or advance their own career success programming. This brief focuses on the lessons learned from four presenters at this conference session: (1) Antoinette Haygood (ACCESS College Foundation; Norfolk, VA) presented "Establishing Organizational Priorities," a discussion of how programs know when they want to grow and expand into a new direction of work and how they can tell if they are ready to do so; (2) Charleita Richardson's (Partnership for the Future; Glen Allen, VA) "Managing Your Work" laid out processes programs can use to ensure students, staff, and business partners are aligned and working in the same direction; (3) Vanessa Barbic (Students Rising Above; San Francisco, CA) presented "Preparing Your Advisors" for career success and focused on the topics advisors need to know, how to educate advisors on those topics, and concerns about mission creep; and (4) Teanna Dorsey (Genesys Works; Houston, TX) described the critical activity of "Partnering with Business" to provide meaningful work-based opportunities for students.
