Expanding Access: Illinois’ Groundbreaking Initiative for Student Success Webinar hbruc3 Thu, 05/08/2025 - 12:48

Resources like licensure test prep and skills training prepare students for career success. Yet they remain out of reach for many, particularly first-generation and low-income students.

How can institutions ensure every student has access to the tools they need to be career-ready?

Illinois has launched a groundbreaking program that provides students across the state with free access to these resources through a partnership with Kaplan. Join the initiative’s leaders in a webinar on Thursday, May 15, at 2 p.m. ET to explore how Illinois’ model:

Mitigates financial burdens on students.
Improves workforce readiness.
Drives student outcomes.
