Career Compass of Louisiana

Career Compass is Louisiana's nonprofit authority on college and career access. Our mission is to remove the obstacles that keep students from pursuing a post-secondary education. Our goal is to increase the number of students in Louisiana who attend a post-secondary institution upon high school graduation (technical, community and four-year universities). Career Compass was founded on the belief that all students can go to college, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. To us, "college" means a two- or four-year degree, or an advanced credential. Founded in 2006 by two former teachers, Career Compass has grown exponentially from our humble beginnings. Starting with 98 students in two schools, we have flourished to annually impact 36,000 students statewide in 30+ school districts. Community by community, we’re partnering with districts to increase post-secondary enrollments. And it's working! Year after year, 98-99% of our students apply to a post-secondary option that they can successfully complete.
