Road To College & Career

Uplift’s unique Road To College & Career program is UNPARALLELED in how we prepare our scholars for life after high school and support them through college and into a career. Our results speak for themselves:

100%

College acceptance for more than 20 years

4x

The national average for college degree attainment

13%

Higher than state average for college preparedness

$23K

Higher average salaries for alums

We know that a college degree is the best pathway to achieve a comfortable income and a fulfilling life, but we also acknowledge that college might not be the right path for every graduate. For those instances, we provide career guidance and other means to help our alumni move into successful occupation options.

Our RTCC program starts in middle school and continues well after high school graduation and includes:

Career exposure and experience
College field trips and college fairs
Customized help in choosing the right college and career path
Family involvement to set and achieve goals
Alumni Success Counselors that help scholars navigate post-graduation hurdles
Alumni Career Centers to help our graduates find the career of their dreams
