"I advise. You decide". 

That sums Shameek's approach to postsecondary advising services. The modern landscape of pathways and options to postsecondary access and success can appear overwhelming and daunting. With 19 years of experience in postsecondary readiness, access, and success - he will bring extensive knowledge on internal assessment, college list building, up-to-date match and fit criteria, college applications and essays, testing and test optional, along with college financing (including loans and scholarships) to each advising relationship.

It's no longer about high school graduation. 2 out of 3 living wage paying job opportunities for high school graduates require some type of postsecondary training or certificate. Is your school or organization ready to support the needs of modern, diverse cohorts of young people, their families, and communities seeking knowledge, skill, and ability preparation for postsecondary success?
