Free webinar on Wednesday, May 9

In this webinar hosted by the National Network of Sector Partners (NNSP), Seattle Jobs Initiative (SJI) will present an emerging answer to these challenges: college navigation, the process by which individuals entering college get help addressing a wide range of barriers. Drawing on The ABCs of College Navigation Guide, produced in partnership with Seattle-area community groups and colleges, SJI will share advice and tools for helping individuals select appropriate programs, complete required assessments, persist in training, and transition to employment. They will be joined by community and college-based navigators who will share examples of supporting individuals to college success.
