Connect2Success is LOSFA’s newest outreach program designed to increase post-secondary enrollment, by exposing middle and high school students to the link between academics and careers.
   |
In partnership with post-secondary institutions, the Connect2Success Initiative provides students with opportunities to job shadow, intern, career plan, and develop skills necessary for success in the classroom and in the career of their choice. The program also expands credentialing opportunities and dual-enrollment through supported services such as mentoring, tutoring and college visits. It also increases the occasions for experiential learning activities tied to business and industry visits.
