Benefits to the CCTI Partnerships

CCTI will provide a planned framework for working with other leading site partnerships committed to enhancing college and career transition strategies and programs of study, and to improving academic performance of students at both the secondary and postsecondary levels.

Some of the major benefits derived from CCTI participation include opportunities for

Sharing Promising Practices and Lessons Learned. CCTI site partnerships will share the ideas, challenges, resources, and documents they have developed at each point in their journeys and will form new alliances with and among each other.

Contributing to Systemic Change at the Local, State, Regional, and/or National Levels. CCTI site partnerships will be able to benefit from their participation by linking with existing projects or launching new projects to improve the preparation of students for postsecondary and career success.

Obtaining Recognition and Providing Leadership. CCTI site partnerships’ best practices will be featured at the League's two international conferences and in the League's many publications, a CCTI website, and a series of special monographs. These best practices may also be the focus of project partner publications and websites. CCTI site partnerships will provide leadership for other educational institutions by sharing transition strategies, programs of study, and best practices through consultations, conferences, and publications.

Obtaining Technical Assistance. The expertise of a number of internationally renowned partners and advisors will be made available to CCTI site partnerships.

Funding. CCTI site partnerships will receive up to $150,000 for first-year activities, to help reimburse or offset required and voluntary project costs. Funding will be provided in subsequent years of the project contingent upon the availability of federal appropriations and project design. The project period is planned for five years, depending upon the availability of federal appropriations beyond the first year.
