We work alongside
your whole team.

From district leadership to students and families — Empowered Admissions brings targeted support at every level of the college and career readiness equation.

Students

Workshops, classroom presentations, and individualized advising that build the skills, knowledge, and confidence students need to navigate life after high school — whatever path that looks like.

Counselors & Staff

Extended capacity and specialized expertise that works alongside your existing team — with hands-on professional development they can apply the next day.

Parents & Families

Bilingual programming that transforms parents from bystanders into advocates — building the confidence and knowledge families need to actively support their student's journey.

District Leadership

LCAP-aligned programs with measurable outcomes, clear data reporting, and a strategic roadmap that ties directly to your CCR performance goals and dashboard indicators.

Everything your district
needs in one partner.

From one-on-one family coaching to district-wide CCR strategy — we build the programs, systems, and skills that create real outcomes for your students.

Strategic CCR Planning

Most districts have data. Few have a strategy. We analyze your performance indicators, identify where students are falling through the cracks, and build a roadmap that actually moves the needle.

  • CCI gap analysis by subgroup & school site
  • Multi-year improvement targets aligned to LCAP
  • CCR roadmap development & strategic planning
  • Data-driven interventions for underperforming groups
  • Pathway expansion: a-g completion & dual enrollment

Family Empowerment Programs

When families understand the system, students are more likely to apply, enroll, and complete. We design bilingual programming that transforms parents into their child's most powerful advocates.

  • Bilingual workshops in English & Spanish
  • Admissions simulation: parents see exactly how colleges decide
  • FAFSA, scholarships & financial aid planning sessions
  • Take-home family guidebooks with step-by-step action plans
  • Virtual and in-person delivery options

Staff Training & Capacity Building

Your counselors and faculty are the frontline of student success. We equip them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to guide every student — including the ones who've never heard of FAFSA.

  • On-site & virtual professional development
  • Training on dual enrollment, CTE & guided pathways
  • Implementation coaching & technical assistance
  • Ready-to-use templates, tools & communication resources
  • Standard operating procedures & sustainability planning

Individualized Family Support

High-stakes, high-touch advising for students and parents who need a real partner — not a checklist. We guide families through every decision, from course selection to acceptance letters.

  • One-on-one student advising sessions
  • Career exploration & resume building
  • Application strategy & essay development
  • Financial aid review & college transition support
  • Passion project planning & monitoring

Needs Assessment

Before we offer recommendations, we listen. We sit with your team to understand what's working, where the gaps are, and what changes would make the most meaningful difference for students.

  • Current State Summary & Strengths Inventory
  • Equity gap analysis by subgroup & school site
  • LCAP & Guided Pathways alignment review
  • Case management recommendations
  • Implementation roadmap with quick wins

Bridge Services

We strengthen the pipeline between your schools and the next level — with dual enrollment strategy, feeder relationships, and transition planning that keeps students from falling through the cracks after graduation.

  • K-14 dual enrollment outreach & optimization
  • Feeder school relationship building
  • Individualized post-graduation action plans
  • Community college enrollment & CTE connection support
  • Summer melt prevention strategies
