Corporate Partner Program
A happy employee is a productive employee. Employees who get help and answers for key life situations, such as college admissions and college funding, are happy employees. That, in a nutshell, is why it is to your advantage, as a personnel or human resources manager, to arrange for us to conduct a free Parents' College Solutions Workshop for your company's team members.
"Don't all of our employees and their children receive this kind of assistance automatically from their high school guidance counselors?" is a question that sometimes arises. The answer is that guidance counselors are charged with a wide variety of functions, including test administration, student discipline, course selection and more.
With an average national student to counselor ratio of 500-to-1, it would not be possible for these guidance counselors to give students and families all the attention they need, even if they were experts in college admissions and college funding. But they are not experts in these areas. That's why we are needed.
Our concise and information-packed one-hour workshop can be given in a lunchroom context, so employees don't even have to take any time out of their busy schedules to attend a separate evening presentation. And their employer doesn't need to cut productivity, by taking them out of work. Eat, drink and enjoy the PowerPoint!
