For others, there are other paths that will help them get to where they are trying to go. Sometimes these other paths are a better fit for them. We will explore this decision point and discuss a bit about the benefits and disadvantages of various options (e.g., a four-year college, a gap year program, a two-year community college, an alternative college like Wayfinding Academy, and others) and help students at this decision point make the choice that is best for them. Our goal in this session is to help students make informed and intentional choices and be able to articulate their why.
