College Readiness Coordinator

$60,000-$70,000 DOQ

The College Readiness Consortium (CRC) was created at the University of Minnesota (UMN) with the stated purpose to engage with K-12 educators, youth workers, and UMN programs to increase the number and diversity of students who graduate from high school and are ready for success in college and careers.

College and career readiness involves preparing all P-12 students to understand the importance of postsecondary education for their future, explore career fields and related preparation requirements, know the range of postsecondary options, and develop needed financial, social, and emotional skills. This process engages students more fully in middle and high school as they see the connection to their future and increases the likelihood of earning a postsecondary degree or certificate.

CRC facilitates ongoing learning meetings both virtually and in-person for the Pre-College Network, a group of over 150 UMN youth program leaders located on all five campuses that expose youth to lifelong learning, career exploration, and college preparedness. The Pre-College Network strives to build programs’ college readiness capacity and to promote quality and equitable learning opportunities for P-12 students across the state. In addition, CRC partners with Health, Safety, and Risk Management to provide required and optional training for youth program leaders to ensure high standards regarding safety for children while on UMN campuses.

The CRC also strives to promote the pillars of academic excellence identified in the System Enrollment Management (SEM) Report:

  • Access – ensuring access to education, opportunities, support, and resources
  • Affordability – balancing costs of college with a mindfulness toward student indebtedness
  • Diversity – Being attentive to race, ethnicity, first-generation, and low-income student characteristics while closing opportunity gaps
  • Gaps – Highlighting approaches to national and international recruitment, along with our service to the State of Minnesota
  • Student Success – Centering student outcomes and goals in our efforts

Job Duties:

  • Collaborate with Admissions and other UMN departments
  • Design and implement a middle school tours program
  • Design UMN-positive messaging about visiting campus and applying as a student
  • Co-facilitate the Pre-College Network
  • Team with the five system campus liaisons to create quality programming
