Coates Inc Receives Innovators Award

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.
