Postsecondary Navigation

Post secondary navigators empower alumni to build and pursue their unique career roadmap, develop resiliencies to cope with the challenges of transition, gain courage to advocate for themselves, and cultivate a network to support their goals.

Additionally, the Postsecondary Success Navigator helps to support the Department of Workforce Development by enhancing partnerships with traditional and non-traditional postsecondary programs as well as workforce partners. Through a collaborative approach we’re able to increase awareness and access to opportunities and create the talent pipelines to address the workforce demands of the present and future.
