Working alongside colleagues, you’ll map the student journey, prioritize what students need to know, and design an approach that can be adapted across schools, campuses, and delivery models. Guided by experienced practitioners, you’ll apply practical tools to your own program and leave with a customized Dual Enrollment Orientation Blueprint and a 90-Day Action Plan you can begin using immediately.
