School Relevancy

FutureConnect supports student outcomes like attendance, discipline, achievement and motivation by engaging each student to reflect on their future and how school will support their success. In short, we believe students perform best once they have attached personal meaning to school.

We understand schools face challenging mandates such as 'No Child Left Behind' with limited time and resources. FutureConnect saves teachers and guidance professionals time by engaging both students and their parents in planning, goal-setting and supporting school programs.

Our program is flexible and consultative. We strive to support existing school programs and personnel taking into account any scheduling/resource constraints. We supply additional people, onsite/offsite service and technology to help schools enhance the measurable impact they make with each student.

A recent brief from Columbia University's Teacher's College provides more information about the impact a comprehensive program like FutureConnect can have on student achievement and other outcomes.

Career Maturity & Career/College Success

Career maturity matters regardless of whether a student plans to pursue college, work or other pursuits after high school. We live in an age where young people can expect to change jobs and careers several times over their lifetime. Nevertheless, it is important that students pursue post-secondary education and careers with purpose and planning. Students exposed to FutureConnect will improve their chances of post-secondary and career success.

FutureConnect helps each student develop skills they can apply lifelong such as:
  • Computer-based research and networking
  • Resume/Portfolio development
  • Communication and self-marketing skills
  • Informed goal setting

Our goal is not to have students decide on a career before graduating high school. Rather, we strive to help each student learn how to prepare and connect with the right opportunities in an informed, proactive manner.

Academic Achievement

Research increasingly shows a link between a comprehensive career development program like FutureConnect and improved academic achievement - click here for Teacher's College Research Summary.

Educators since John Dewey have understood the power of contextual teaching. Relating subject matter to practical, real-world examples and a student's interests improves learning and motivation. FutureConnect helps all students find meaning in school by drawing direct connections between their career aspirations and school success. Our recommended approach is to involve parents in a take-home, interactive exercise - click here to see a sample exercise. By beginning this process early in middle school, we support teachers and academic success through high school graduation and beyond.
