Because education and the workplace have forever changed in the last 30 months, there is a need for schools to adapt and offer NEW BEGINNINGS as they ready their students for college and career. Consider the fact that higher ed enrollment has dropped steadily, admissions criteria have shifted, and strategies to pay for college are misunderstood. At the same time, today’s workplace is unrecognizable to many with millions of new, high-paying jobs becoming available for the first time, industries are desperate for workers and home is the most popular place to work. New Beginnings will provide your students, families, and educators with the skills, information and support they need to succeed in this new readiness paradigm.
Over the last 30 years, CFES Brilliant Pathways has helped 100,000 underserved students attain postsecondary degrees and succeed in the workplace. We invite your school to join us and your students to become part of the next 100,000 youth who succeed in postsecondary study, work and life. While details on the program follow, we invite you to contact us if you have questions.
