APIE’s College Readiness program aims to increase the number of students participating in early college high school initiatives throughout the Austin Independent School District (AISD).

APIE’s College Readiness Advocates prepare students to meet academic college-readiness benchmarks outlined by the Texas Success Initiative through individualized and small-group tutoring in reading, writing, and math. Advocates also advise their students on college and career pathways and support their students in developing the non-academic skills necessary for a successful postsecondary experience. Lastly, Advocates work closely with program management to build and sustain community partnerships at assigned AISD campuses, and to help build a college-going culture within the school district.

During on-board training, CR Advocates receive guidance on how to utilize APIE’s curriculum, create lesson plans, engage students, manage student behavior, and assist students with the college-going process. Advocates continue receiving professional development throughout the school year.

This position is ideal for an individual interested in pursuing a career in the education, social work, and/or nonprofit sectors.
