For California Community Colleges
We partner with community colleges to strengthen student success, close equity gaps, and support Vision 2030 goals — from enrollment through transfer and career placement.
California community colleges serve 2.1 million students with some of the highest counselor-to-student ratios in the nation. Vision 2030 calls for bold action on equity in access, success, and support — and that takes more than policy. It takes people on the ground doing the work alongside your team.
From incoming students to student services leadership — Empowered Admissions delivers targeted support across every level of your institution.
Workshops, classroom presentations, and individualized advising to support enrollment, persistence, transfer readiness, and economic mobility — including working learners and adults returning to complete a credential.
Extended capacity and specialized expertise that works alongside — not in place of — your existing student services team, reducing caseload pressure while strengthening outcomes.
Bilingual programming that builds confidence and agency for students and caregivers navigating college systems for the first time, in English and Spanish.
Equity Plan-aligned programs with measurable outcomes that support accreditation, accountability, and reporting — designed to connect directly to your existing data systems.
From student-facing workshops to systems-level strategic planning — everything we do is designed to close equity gaps and help more students reach completion, transfer, and living-wage careers.
The P.O.W.E.R. Series invites students and their families to take an active role in navigating college completion, transfer, and career pathways. Designed to complement your existing orientation and FYE programming — not replace it.
Sometimes a student or family needs more than a workshop — they need someone in their corner. Our coaches work one-on-one with participants on everything from transfer planning to figuring out the right next step.
Before we offer recommendations, we listen. We sit with your student services team to understand what's working, where the gaps are, and what changes would make the most meaningful difference for students.
Hands-on working sessions where your counselors, advisors, and classified staff walk away with strategies they can use the next day — all tied back to your Student Equity Plan and Guided Pathways framework.
A shared system for tracking student progress. The Student Success Funnel gives your team a structured, phased approach to guide students from enrollment through completion, transfer, or career placement — so everyone knows where each student stands.
Strengthening the pipeline between K-12 districts and your college. We help build seamless transitions that increase enrollment, support dual enrollment expansion, and reduce summer melt — in direct alignment with Vision 2030's 12-unit dual enrollment goal.
The P.O.W.E.R. Series brings students and families into the college completion conversation. Scalable for orientations, EOPS/CalWORKs programming, or campus-wide events — in English and Spanish.
How career pathways connect to degree, certificate, and baccalaureate programs — and what students and families can start doing right now. The roadmap, demystified.
A hands-on transfer admissions simulation. Participants read the applications. Participants make the decisions. They leave understanding exactly what universities look for.
FAFSA/CADAA strategies, BOG fee waivers, and scholarship planning — broken down into steps students and families can actually take today.
Career alignment, transfer matching, and guided self-placement. Because the right fit isn't just about prestige — it's about real outcomes and economic mobility.
Certificates. Celebrations. And a concrete action plan to carry the momentum forward into transfer, completion, or career — whatever the next step looks like.
Whether you need a single workshop series or year-long embedded support, we'll shape the partnership around your campus, your team, and your students.
Pick the sessions that fit and we'll deliver them on your campus or virtually. A great place to start — low lift, high impact for students and families.
Embedded support across the academic year — needs assessment, student and family workshops, staff professional development, and quarterly check-ins.
A focused engagement around one goal — launching a student success series, building your K-14 pipeline, or strengthening transfer readiness before application season.
Hands-on professional development plus thought partnership on Guided Pathways, equity planning, GenAI integration, or systems design aligned to Vision 2030.
We'd love to hear about your college and find out where we can make the most meaningful difference for your students. No pressure. No fluff.
