Services Provided
To help our students achieve success, we offer a number of services that target academic and personal needs. Students in Project SUCCESS use some or all of these services depending on their own goals.
Academic Growth
Academic Advising and Support
Project SUCCESS staff aid students by providing academic support and course advising. Prior to registration each semester, participants are encouraged to meet with their coordinator for an academic planning meeting. In this meeting students and their coordinator discuss potential schedules for the upcoming semester and courses needed for graduation and transfer.
Tutoring
Project SUCCESS students have access to the online education platform TutorMe. Participants in our program can receive on-demand tutoring services anytime of the day in a variety of subject areas from the the comfort of their own home.
Transfer Assistance
As part of our goal to assist students in graduating from 澳彩开奖网 and transferring to a 4-year college or university, Project SUCCESS Coordinators offer transfer counseling and assistance to participants. This assistance includes research of potential transfer institutions, academic planning and course selection to ensure transferability of classes taken at 澳彩开奖网, guidance in scholarship search, financial aid application assistance, transfer portfolios, and campus visits to St. Louis-area colleges and universities.
Campus Visits
Project SUCCESS regularly visits local four-year institutions each semester. Program participants are encouraged to attend these campus visits and benefit from the information given on the campus tours. It's a great way to learn more about schools in your area rather than simply depending on brochures, catalogs, or websites. Many of our program participants have changed their minds about transfer schools just by attending a campus visit.
STEM Trips
Each semester, students are invited to attend a field trip specifically focused on careers and learning opportunities within STEM majors. These trips provide students the opportunity to explore their major and see how what they are studying is put into practice.
Personal Growth
Personal Support
Project SUCCESS staff understand that many of our students attend school, work and have families, which can be stressful to a college student. We like to help our participants by offering a variety of services that focus on one's emotional well-being as well as academic success. In addition to the support students receive from Project SUCCESS staff, the College offers professional counseling. Please contact the on campus counselor at 636/481.3000 extension 3215 or by emailing counseling@jeffco.edu.
Cultural Events and Trips
Each semester Project SUCCESS organizes a field trip for participants. These trips are a terrific way of getting to know other students participating in the program. Students will have the opportunity to experience something new and to explore the community and city around them. The cultural field trips are free to active participants in Project SUCCESS.
Informational Workshops
A wide variety of topics are covered in workshops each semester. The workshops are intended to assist students in accessing information, as well as learning from their peers in the program, about strategies and resources that will work for them. A few of the workshop topics include financial literacy, study skills, stress management, and transfer assistance.
Career Counseling
Employment Services at 澳彩开奖网 is an invaluable resource to 澳彩开奖网 students and area residents searching for positions in the workforce. Project SUCCESS works with the Employment Services office to provide participants information on resume writing and interviewing techniques. Additionally, Project SUCCESS staff are Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches and can provide students guidance through strengths-based career activities.
Leadership Opportunities
TEAM TRIO
Team TRIO is a fantastic leadership opportunity which can add a great deal to the 澳彩开奖网 experience. Team TRIO members are consulted when decisions made by Project SUCCESS staff are directly related to enhancing participants' experience in the program, such as our transfer visits, cultural events and workshop topics. Team TRIO members also have the opportunity to mentor new students, while being mentored by 澳彩开奖网 leaders.
