This year marked the 19th annual class of Innovators at Purdue University Northwest. Coates Inc was awarded for the innovation of their College and Career Mobile (CCM). We are providing college and career services that support the school community and meet students where they are!
The College and Career Mobile (CCM). Northwest Indiana students face significant challenges when it comes to determining solid post-high school career options due to high student-to-counselor ratios and limited college and career support. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these issues, with fewer students attending college and a greater need for guidance during the transitional process. In addition, middle school students are missing out on the opportunity to apply for the 21st Century Scholars that makes college more affordable for students. There is more out of school time needed in the area and more innovative ways to engage with students.
