The mission of Career Compass is to assist and guide high school students by enlightening, encouraging, and empowering them to pursue post-secondary training.


	Currently only about 13% of LA high school students obtain post-secondary degrees within six years of graduation.
	84% of Louisiana public school students live at or below the poverty line.
	In high schools utilizing career coaches, over 40% of students who didn’t originally have plans to attend a post-secondary institution changed their minds when they met with the career coach.
	The overall college-going rate for public high school graduates in Louisiana was 46% for the '05-06 school year.
	92% of the students Career Compass worked with in the '07-08 school year applied to and/or were accepted to a post-secondary institution by high school graduation.

	Career Compass has partnered with 9 school districts this school year! We are providing college and career coaching to 26 area high schools...over 4,000 high school seniors! Our district partners are: East Baton Rouge Parish School System, Central Community School System, Advance Baton Rouge, Ascension Public Schools, Zachary Community School Board , City of Baker School System, West Baton Rouge Parish Schools, Iberville Parish Schools, and Pointe Coupee Parish School Board.
	We are working with the eighth through eleventh grade students in the Central Community School System and the Iberville Parish School. We know that it's never to early to begin planning for the future!
	We'd like to thank our sponsors for the 2008-09 school year. Without their generous support, we would not be able to succeed in our mission! Click here to view our list of sponsors.
