Connecting College and Career Success: Lessons on Advising, Data, and Partnerships
Pringle, Amina Anderson; DeBaun, Bill; Melnick, Sara
National College Access Network
In spring 2017, the National College Access Network's (NCAN's) annual Spring Training series focused on connecting career success with NCAN members' college access and success services. Across four cities (Phoenix, Houston, Indianapolis and Providence), attendees learned from field experts on a variety of topics, from integrating career success work in a college access and success program, to accessing and using workforce data, to connecting with local, regional and state stakeholders to create partnerships for career success. This white paper focuses on the lessons learned from this training series and suggests resources members can use to further their understanding of this area. It is divided into sections on integrating career success into advising, identifying relevant career and workforce data, and the importance of partnerships for career success.
