Presented by Al Lainio, CEO & Founder of Digital RED

We all want the best life outcomes for all of our students. Today, a high school degree is not enough to equip our students for a future in which they will have to compete with increased AI and low-cost foreign labor. Students need to understand that one of the following four outcomes provides them the best chance for health, happiness, and a financially secure future: a two-year degree, a four-year degree, certification in a trade, or a career in the military. Providing students a ‘Why to Try’ strengthens school culture and improves engagement. When students understand the lifelong implications of maximizing their high school experience and plan for their post-secondary destination, everyone wins. Learn how CESA Purchasing partner OnToCollege has partnered with over 750 schools to help get these messages to students through their engaging test prep and college/career readiness tools.
