WHAT IS COLLEGE TRANSITION?

One of the more challenging changes in a young person’s life is the transition from high school to college. Our experience with students who have struggled in this transition has shown that students had trouble with challenges including executive functions, time management, social pressures, and increased school workload. This process of jumping from one educational level to another is often done with limited planning and strategizing of how the student will adjust to the change. Northwest College Support attempts to bridge that experience for students and give them the skills necessary to succeed in a college environment and supporting them so they can move forward. College is not harder than High School, but it is different, and it requires a new set of skills.

Northwest College Support would like to bridge that transitional experience for students by helping them learn the strategic skills necessary to be successful in a college environment. We address the internal emotional growth skills necessary through counseling, we address the academic and general life skills necessary through specific coaches that are trained to help students learn the skills of college success. Some of our students are working with us as they attempt college for the first time, others have already struggled in college and need a fresh start.
