Unlock Opportunities
Thanks to all the knowledge, skills and experience they’ll gain in college, young people will be able to adapt to a greater variety of jobs and careers. It is proven that people who qualify from college are better equipped to:

• get a job
• earn more money
• become more independent

During a young person’s time at college, they will:

• explore subjects in greater depth than they did in school
• choose their own courses following the direction of their chosen career
• decide which extracurricular activities they will focus on — and how much time they give them

Although college requires young people to be a lot more independent than school they are not entirely on their own: colleges offer students many kinds of help in making this transition, such as tutoring and academic advising as well as counselling and other support.
