Segue helps students become inspired
|
and motivated about their future. They come to see how relevant is school, and that it's to their own benefit to take responsibility for their lives by putting in more effort now. As a school official shared with Segue in a letter, Segue "makes graduating high school a new and important priority in [students'] lives." For those already college bound, Segue helps solve the mystery about career options with personal real world insights from those that have been there.
|
Schools that already have internal career programs
will find Segue to be a valuable and high impact addition
while requiring no ongoing admin support from their school.
See also "Comparable Options" by clicking here. The
profile of speakers at a school is largely driven by the profile
of the local community workplace, nearby communities, the
parents of students, and the outreach focus of the
Development Committee.

A School Champion can be a volunteer or
|
a teacher at a school or an administrator. The Champion helps drive the Segue program at a school. The time commitment is about 10 hours at the start of the school year, and then 1-3 hours per week. The Champion can focus primarily on speaker outreach, or can be more involved at the choice of the Champion. Should the Champion choose, Segue can make available at no cost its 2-page guide to start a student-run Segue Career Club, and/or the Segue Career Adventure. The purpose of the Career Adventure is to support students by helping making into an adventure their efforts and concerns about choosing a career for their future.

Segue metrics: Student Career Exposures (SCEs)
In addition to the twelve statistical student outcomes that Segue measures (click
here for bar graph), Segue has coined the term "Student Career Exposure." One SCE is one exposure to one live career speaker for one student. In the example of 30 speakers at a school, the result would be 2,250 to 3,060 SCEs. Here's the math: Each career mentor speak in 3 classes. If the class size is 25 students and the speaker reaches 75 students (x30 = 2,250). If the class size is 34 students, the speakers reach 102 students (x30 = 3,060).

Segue provides a concise Manual for implementing
|
the Program at a school, with all the necessary information, and provides ongoing coaching to the Community Champion.
|
Program fees vary based upon the number of
|
schools participating in the district, financial support from Segue and other donors, and other factors. Generally, the per school fee ranges from $4,500 is $15,000. Grants are considered for a substantial portion of this amount. Segue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit duly registered with the IRS. Donations under this program are tax-deductible.
|
Survey research tools are provided to enable
|
