JOB SUMMARY: The Student Success Center (SSC) is a youth and adult-staffed college and career access center that offers services on college awareness, college preparation, and individual college counseling. The goal of the SSC is to create a college and career going culture for the school campus. The SSC provides additional resources and tools necessary for each student to reach his/her post-secondary education goals. The SSC is a full-service college and career counseling model designed to ensure that all students at the school campus have the support they need to apply to and matriculate into college and other alternative pathways. Each of our partner schools has a full-time college and career advisor, two youth leaders, and a college bridge coach. This is an evidenced-based and comprehensive model that has proven to work for our schools to better service our students throughout their entire post-secondary application and matriculation process.

The New York City Public Schools aims to ensure every student is prepared for and on a path to a rewarding career aligned with their passion and purpose and offering long-term economic security. Today, too few students have the information and advising support required to explore and understand their career entry options and develop a robust, high-quality, personalized plan to pursue their desired path after high school. Academic research suggests regular, individualized postsecondary advising improves key student outcomes, including career readiness metrics, FAFSA submission, and college enrollment rates. Quality advising enables students to make more informed decisions on their postsecondary paths, including which colleges they apply to, where they enroll, what major they select, what skills and experiences they consider building, and how likely they are to persist. These factors are tied to postsecondary graduation rates, employment rates, and wage outcomes.

The Strong Plan/Head Start pilot will offer personalized college and career pathways advisement as an additional, critical layer of support to students in temporary housing through their high school experience. Advising will be designed to build on the system-wide expansion of career-connected learning and to link students to high quality work-based learning opportunities in market-aligned career pathways. The pilot will be implemented in partnership with existing Student Success Center at the Taft Educational Campus. Programming will be designed to support students starting in freshman year through the summer after graduation, and will be grounded in multiple individualized advising sessions each year to support students in developing and refining a personalized college and career plan.

The Assistant Director will manage day-to-day program management responsibilities to ensure that the Student Success Center is running efficiently and meeting its program goals of ensuring that students are receiving college and career guidance and all seniors are graduating with a post-secondary plan, while also leading the initiative to support students in temporary housing. The Assistant Director will support and work closely with the director to create and manage partnerships with a smooth transition for our program participants.

Job Duties include but not limited to:

• Directly supervise 5 Advisors: 3 College & Career Advisors, 1 Early Awareness Advisor, and 1 Career Readiness Advisor and guide their professional development.
