Supporting Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness

Aurora Public Schools gives students early exposure to college and career success to ensure they have every opportunity to have a future that excites them.

 

Career & College Success Process

All APS students discover their interests and strengths which are tracked using ICAP through the program Naviance. While students' knowledge, strengths, and interests evolve through time they are able to track and apply them to their future goals.

Needs & Goals Support

Students have access to programs that support their goals and needs as well as a community of support in Graduation Coaches that uplift them along their journey to graduation.

Our College and Career Center Advisors aid students as they prepare and plan for life after graduation, whether that be college, career, or military. Students can stop by their College and Career Center to speak with their school's Advisor, if a school does not have a College and Career Center they can always make an appointment with their region's CCC Advisor.

There are various opportunities for students to earn credentials that will open doors to their future.

Concurrent enrollment, dual enrollment, and the program ASCENT are a few ways that students can get a head start on their post-secondary education.

"The new measure of a sufficiently prepared student is one who has knowledge and skills to keep learning beyond secondary school, first in formal settings and then in the workplace throughout their careers, so that they are capable of adapting to unpredictable changes and new economic conditions and opportunities." - David T. Conley, PhD
