In partnership with the California Colleges Guidance Initiative (CCGI), all students from 6th grade to 12th grade have access to personalized CCGI accounts. These accounts serve as a vital tool to help students explore college and career options, build comprehensive college and university profiles, and develop a clear roadmap for their futures. By connecting students directly to resources and opportunities, CCGI plays a key role in preparing them to make informed decisions about their post-secondary paths.
