Arizona GEAR UP creates college and career readiness guide for middle school students

In support of a statewide college access initiative, Arizona GEAR UP recently created a college and career exploration guide. Available to download in English and Spanish, the Discover Guide will help students examine how interests, passions, and abilities can lead to a potential career. “The earlier students begin postsecondary planning, the better,” said Ramona Mellott, co-principal investigator for Arizona GEAR UP. “The Discover Guide provides middle school students the opportunity to explore how their abilities and passions can lead them toward a career path filled with purpose, and students will discover the postsecondary path to lead them toward success. Every Arizona middle school student would benefit from this valuable tool.” Read more and access the Discover Guide here.
