- Share your plans and needs. Whether you are thinking about an apprenticeship, military, work, community college, or four-year college, now is a great time to take action. We'll immediately provide you with tips and links to assist in your areas of interest. We'll also share your plans and needs with the counseling team at your high school.
- Connect with NC colleges. You can choose to share your contact information with NC community colleges and four-year colleges so they can let you know more about their programs.
- Join the online program to take steps toward your goals. You'll have exclusive access to two sets of self-paced online activities. If you are planning to continue your education, one set of six activities will help you take six steps toward a community college or a four-year college. If you are planning to enter the workforce, another set of three activities will help you explore career and training options. You’ll be guided through the steps with interactive videos and action items, along with special content for parents. Also, you'll have a team of NC graduate students to help you with questions along the way.
