Student-focused
career and college readiness advising
and support
We help students make a plan for life after graduation.
Achieve Twin Cities partners with Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) and Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) to offer a wide range of career and postsecondary planning guidance and resources for nearly 20,000 high school students each year.
Through centers embedded in our partner high schools, we create a supportive landing space for students and families to connect with expert guidance, resources and opportunities in their path to self-discovery.
As the sole universal career and college readiness provider in MPS and SPPS school districts, Achieve services are open to all students for discovering, exploring and planning for life after high school.
Our reach in Minneapolis and Saint Paul schools:
Our Career and College Readiness Team in MPS and SPPS High Schools
Our professional staff work as expert career and college readiness leaders and peer partners within their schools, and include licensed school counselors, social workers, admissions experts, educators and youth workers.
Each team member brings extensive experience in helping students develop and pursue the best postsecondary plans for their individual career and life goals.
Many of our staff are graduates of the schools we serve – including some of our former students – or were the first in their families to attend college.

Services We Provide
One-on-one Student Advising
Our student-centered approach focuses deeply on building the kind of trusting, long-term relationships that are essential for creating successful post-graduation plans. Our team works one-on-one with students and tracks their planning throughout high school. We offer individualized guidance for:
- Personal interest and identity development
- Exploring pathways and career options
- Researching and applying for postsecondary programs
- Financing planning through financial aid, scholarships, and budgeting
- Preparing to enter the workforce, including help with job searches, resumes and interviewing

Career and Postsecondary Experiences and Resources
We collaborate with school counselors, partner organizations and district leadership to provide engaging opportunities for students to explore career and college pathways. Together we provide:
- Career and college field trips, networking and connections with local professionals
- Postsecondary exposure through campus tours, rep visits and fairs
- Career information sessions, workshops and networking events
- Links to partner organization for additional opportunities

Integrated Systems of Support
Achieve partners deeply with school counselors, serving as key members of these teams and managing the central tracking of students' postsecondary planning progress.
We provide additional capacity and focus to build holistic career and college readiness instruction and services that follow students from ninth grade through graduation.
Collaborating across school districts, higher education and training institutions, and with employers and trade unions, we work to build a continuous system of support to ensure that all students have full access to career and college opportunities in our community.

How we know our approach works:
"Without the Southwest High Career & College Center I would never have made it to college. The staff there were very caring and helped me believe in myself and my potential."
