Attention all juniors! Are you interested in further education after high school but don’t know where to start? Well you’re in luck!

Many juniors are looking forward to college but haven’t actually taken a closer look at what’s available yet. Several even want to graduate early but don’t know where the best resources are.  For almost all juniors, however, the upcoming SAT exam is the biggest concern of all. The question is, is it possible to have all the sources needed for college, the preparation, the guidelines, and the applications all on one website? Believe it or not, there is.

Naviance is both a college and career readiness platform helping students connect a bridge from high school into their future. With college and career planning solutions, it allows students to be fully prepared and educated on what to expect during the years of college, whether it’s two years at Hudson Valley for an associate’s degree or four years at a university like NYU for a bachelor’s degree. The possibilities are endless and because there are so many different paths, there are so many different options available on the site.

Naviance not only offers tips and advice for college, but also asks what career paths interest the person. Say, for example, the student is fascinated by science, and if anything, he would like to become a biologist. Naviance would then narrow down all the colleges that focus on and are academically known for their science programs. Of course, if a local college isn’t the most interesting, the site also shows what’s available in other regions of the United States.

Since high school is the time when students learn the type of people they are (or are in the process of becoming), this realization may affect the career they wish to pursue. For instance, if the student is brave and outgoing, perhaps theatrical arts may be a future possibility. Since it’s clearly important for students to know who they are, Naviance offers a personality test linking the type of person someone is with potential careers.

Lastly, with all its connections, Naviance helps students seek scholarships and gives them insight as to what needs to be worked on academically and which areas are in good shape.

If Naviance seems like something you’re interested in and you aren’t already signed up, make sure you speak to your guidance counselor.
