2. Adult School Advisors/Counselors help all students seeking transition services: a) set career and academic goals; b) identify the individual support services needed to address challenges that might negatively impact each student’s success, and complete a learning style inventories when appropriate;
3. Adult School Advisors/Counselors help students complete their college application/enrollment/dual enrollment;
4. Adult School Advisors/Counselors help students obtain English and Math placement (either through AB 705 or through ESL or other placement);
5. Adult School Advisors/Counselors work with students to complete their FAFSA or California Dream Act applications; 
6. Adult School Advisors/Counselors will help the student make an appointment and connect with the receiving college counselor;
7. College Counselor/Outreach and Adult School Advisors/Counselors work together to support student’s success.
