Well-Suited College and Career Planning

Program Information

Well Suited, a non-profit organization and its founder Janet Lavender, who also founded Dress for Success in Los Angeles in 1997, recognizes that high school is where most people begin to shape their lives. Therefore, we saw a need to design a curriculum that fits the need for students to identify a career interest upon entering high school. Youth with a Passion College and Career Planning gives students the ability to identify their passion and provide them the tools needed to explore them. Students create their own individualized educational plan that leads them to further their education to the College/ Technical School that is best suited for them to obtain the degrees or certificates needed to open doors to unlimited possibilities in the careers they choose. We partner with schools, colleges and community based organizations to provide an individualized customized program that supports a student\u2019s interest. In addition to their college and career planning aspect we provide a series of Employment Readiness Workshops that prepare them for Internship and part-time employment opportunities in their field.
