This system will allow students to log into system and see electronic database of academic information, workforce info, and college info.  Parents will be there for students under 18.  On 18th birthday, parents are locked out but can be invited in.  Will want to develop FAFSA tracking, scholarships, grants, etc.  Ideal is to bring to attention of students all the tools that are out there.

Student progress will be tied to 11th grade exit exams (options are college readiness, workforce, portfolio).  Lots of applications planned in this tool; only IDEAL-NM is done.

Other developed content:  College + University links (links also to degree programs, GEAR-UP, tribal colleges).  Seeking to have applications in common, NM financial aid, e-transcript.  
Department of Workforce Solutions will contribute:  Internships, apprenticeships, military opps, resume builder, job training, volunteer opps, wages, job fairs, postings, etc..
College Success Network will contribute:  Outreach resources, Intervention, college access program, professional development, best practices toolkit, corporate relations, listserv
