Transition Career Partnerships & Move On When Ready

Move On When Ready is a new dual enrollment opportunity for students to attend a postsecondary institution full-time during their junior and/or senior year of high school and receive high school credit and college credit simultaneously while attending college classes on the college campus, full-time.

This will lead students to postsecondary institutions for an industry recognized certificate/or licensure, an associate and/or higher college degree, and successful employment.
