technical assistance

Are you interested in enhancing your program’s postsecondary navigation support?

Since 2020, Northwest Education Access has been sharing best practices, tools, and resources to help service providers—who already have strong relationships in their communities—support students in successfully transitioning to and persisting through postsecondary education. We provide techinical assistance to both community-based organizations and educational institutions to scale this vital work and create pathways for students to achieve their education and career goals. Every student deserves this support, and we believe we can only make it widely accessible by working together. To assist this effort, we offer a series of trainings that cover the core components of our work, along with an education planning toolkit that includes resources and best practices to help service providers develop or strengthen programs aimed at helping students access higher education. We are also dedicated to providing ongoing support to any organization we partner with.
