GCPT recognizes that there is no single path to success. For many young people, the options beyond high school can feel confusing or limited. Our Post-Secondary Options services helps youth explore all available pathways—college, career, trades, military, entrepreneurship, and certifications—so they can make informed decisions that align with their strengths, values, and goals.
Our model is grounded in the belief that transformative growth begins with connection. Through collaborative planning sessions, interest assessments, and hands-on skill-building, we help youth understand their unique talents and map out personalized next steps.
GCPT empowers youth to:
Explore opportunities they may not have known were available
Build the emotional and practical skills needed for post-secondary success
Understand how to navigate challenges with resilience and resourcefulness
Strengthen confidence in their capacity to create a meaningful future
College & Career Planning
Guidance on applications, financial aid, scholarships, majors, and training programs.
Workforce Preparation
Support with résumés, interviewing, communication, professional etiquette, and job placement pathways.
Skilled Trades & Certification Exploration
A look at high-demand fields and training opportunities that lead to sustainable, livable-wage careers.
Entrepreneurship Exposure

Transition Coaching for Opportunity Youth

GCPT also equips educators, case managers, and youth-serving agencies with tools to better guide young people through their next steps. Our culturally competent workshops help professionals understand post-secondary systems, strengthen advising skills, and build agency-wide capacity to support youth success.
Whether a young person is exploring college or preparing to enter the workforce, GCPT ensures they are informed, confident, and connected to a network that champions their growth. Our goal is not just to prepare youth for the next step—it's to equip them for a lifetime of leadership, resilience, and purpose.
