College and Career Planning Resources

You play a vital role in helping your students plan for their futures!  They may have many questions to consider before deciding the path to a career.  We strive to help by providing free access to the South Carolina College and Career Planning System.  We also publish Are You Ready?, a college-planning guide, for your students.

SC College and Career Planning System 

The SC College and Career Planning System is a great guide for parents, guidance counselors and potential employers, too!  Students can take scientifically prepared assessments to answer questions like:

• What areas or careers are best suited for you based on your interests?
• What occupations are in demand and how do you measure up?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?
• What colleges provide what you need?
• What is the best work environment for you?

Before beginning their plan for success on the SC College and Career Planning System, students will need a special code from their guidance counselor.  Make sure your students are aware of this important resource! 

Are You Ready?

Are You Ready? is a guide to assist your students in identifying the key issues they should be considering as they move through high school towards the goal of a college education. Tips for preparing for college are organized by year in high school and are subdivided on a month by month basis. Information on financial aid, including scholarships, grants and student loans, is also included.
