We also partner with HIRED to provide post-secondary planning and career exploration. This collaboration is known as Pathways to Success.
Pathways to Success
We have two engagement sites for clients at Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC) and at Brooklyn Center Academy (BCA) Link to Pathways. The staff at each site help students decide which educational path is right for their individual situation. This might include: catching up on and finishing high school coursework, preparing for the GED, or increasing Accuplacer college placement scores to enter a College Pathways program. Pathways staff work alongside public health nurses (PHN), social workers, or community health workers (CHW) to assist clients in reaching their educational goals.
