First 90 Days: College Success Coach Toolkit

The purpose of this project was to provide an inclusive yet simple step-by-step College Success Coach Toolkit (CSCT) that focuses on the JAG College Success Coach First 90 Days. The CSCT was pilot to assist JAG College Success Coaches at the University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical College on providing effective customer service to participants that are currently enrolled at institution and/or in the college success program. The toolkit will help coaches increase their engagement and support for underrepresented participants by utilizing a 10 Model Component tool that provides a framework for how organizations deliver services to participants.

Advance CTE Fellows are gaining the skills and connections to pursue state leadership positions and advance high-quality, equitable state postsecondary CTE systems.
