Services
​Students of WOS benefit from a comprehensive approach to services. From the college applications and selections process to the collegiate years and beyond graduation, we never take our hands off of students until they feel secure on their path.
​
We at WOS recognize that opportunities abound for millenials, and as often with so many choices, decisions prove that much more difficult to reach. So WOS endeavors to help students navigate all choices from beginning to beyond.

GRADUATION AND BEYOND
WOS services prior to college include applying to colleges, locating and applying for scholarships, tips on improving standardized testing scores, and helping students and their families weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision on which schools to attend.
WOS recognizes college students need help beyond their school-appointed advisors to further navigate the curriculum, the institutions, and the demands of higher education. Our collegiate services include assisting students with identifying and securing appropriate coursework, locating tutoring/resources, and matching students with a career mentor to offer advice and answer questions related to their field of study.
Unlike other organizations, WOS supports our students even after graduation when the uncertainty of job selection and career choices can prove discouraging, or even debilitating. Our career mentors offer experience and industry knowledge to new graduates.
