2024 Next Step Online Program

You have two paths to choose from.  You can do one or both depending on your interests:

  1. College - if you're planning to continue your education at a two-year or four-year college, and
  2. Workforce - if you're planning to enter the workforce after high school.

These paths are designed to help you get things done ahead of your senior year and include videos, information, and action items.  If you have questions along the way, please contact our team of NC graduate assistants at [email protected].
