This project is already helping students access important college and career readiness resources in a more flexible and immediate way.

Students can now complete interest surveys, access college and career planning tools, review scholarship information, sign up for TSIA2 support, and receive guidance during advising conversations.\r\n\r\nWhat is most exciting to students is how quickly they can take action. Instead of just hearing about their next steps, they can immediately use the iPads to research programs, explore career options, scan QR codes, complete forms, and begin planning for life after high school. The technology makes the process feel more personal, hands-on, and connected to their actual goals.\r\n\r\nSome of the students who have warmed to this technology the most are those who are still unsure about their future plans. Having a device available during conversations gives them a starting point. They can explore options, ask better questions, and begin to see that college and career planning is not just a distant idea, but something they can work on step by step.
