Training Programs the Promote Career and Educational Development

Education Now has created a number of programs for public and professional audiences aimed at promoting career and educational development. The two-part "Bridge to College" workshop series that firms, agencies and organizatons can offer to employees. Each workshop is 90 minutes in length and can be offered during work hours or evenings or weekends to accommodate spouses and partners.

Program 1 - Unlocking the Mysteries of the College Exploration, Decision-Making and Application Process  

Program 2 - College Costs and Financial Aid: What's the Real Bottom Line?

Frank offers comprehensive guidance on how students and families should address the school-to-college transition. His first program is packed with practical tips on how colleges admit students, what makes one student more "admissible" than another, how a student should set college goals and select colleges and will meet his or her needs. The program also offer detailed information on how to gather information about colleges and lays out a strategy for refining choices and making application.

The second program looks at contemporary college costs and potential sources of financial aid (e.g., grants, scholarships, loans, work-study, etc.) that can help ease the economic burden. Frank has produced a number of topical handouts that he will give to your employees---many of which they can share with their daughters and sons. Most importantly, however, audiences find his presentation style is fast-paced, exhilarating and fun.

While the core "Bridge to College" message is presented in a large group format, Frank is also available to provide one-on-one and small group assistance live and electronically should your employees need additional attention. Frank is available to discuss the "Bridge to College" program and the steps associated with your sponsorship, including fees, prospective dates, etc. Basically, you provide or make arrangements for the meeting room, electronic communication equipment, etc. and Frank does the rest.
