A college degree can be a game changer – it often leads to career advancement, economic opportunity, and upward mobility. But the existing system presents challenges for many students to access college due to high financial barriers and lack of flexibility. Enter Trio CT, an innovative new college support program designed for students who are looking for an accelerated, affordable, and achievable degree program. Trio CT will be a community-based program that provides access to the degree programs AND high touch coaching, career support, and wraparound services (like access to technology, childcare, and guidance through the financial aid process) to ensure students have what they need to succeed and earn their degree.
Trio is excited to launch this innovative new model starting in Hartford and Bridgeport CT to equip working adults with the skills and credentials needed to advance their careers and access high quality jobs leading to fulfilling, economically independent lives. This model has had early promising results, doubling graduation rates and eliminating the black-white college completion gap in Boston, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. We’re looking for our founding team who is committed to equity and breaking barriers to help our students achieve equitable college and career outcomes and is ready to roll up their sleeves and help us build this program in Connecticut– come join us!
As a Founding Program Director with Trio CT, you will have the chance to be a part of a small, innovative, and entrepreneurial team focused on guiding students through a unique college experience so that they can earn their degree and achieve their goals. The primary functions of the role include cultivating community relationships and partnerships to establish the Trio brand; creating a pipeline of prospective students who are motivated to earn their degree while balancing life and work; and supporting the direct coaching, recruitment, and enrollment of students. As a founding member of the Trio CT team, this role will be an essential member of the team as we establish Trio CT as a known entity in the community and build a strong, quality program that leads to strong student outcomes.
The ideal candidate for this role is passionate about the power of education to break down barriers to opportunity. This person has strong relationship-building skills, thrives in a fast-paced role, works well with ambiguity and change, is seeking a community-rooted organization, and is excited about the opportunity to find the right students for this program. They will be energized by the opportunity to innovate and be a part of a new, growing, and impactful endeavor.
Trio CT aims to achieve an average on-time graduation rate of 70% (more than three times the state average of 23%), cut college debt in half, and help at least 70% of graduates get jobs that pay a living wage in CT. To accomplish that, Trio CT has developed an innovative college support program tailored for working adults that works to improve socio-economic mobility through a unique blend of high-tech college and high-touch support. We are committed to providing a quality academic experience, flexible course work, and a community of support to ensure students graduate faster and with little to no debt – no matter if they’re 18 or 65. We do this by pairing innovative, quality online degree options through accredited academic partners with personalized coaching and a learning community.
Joining Trio CT is a great opportunity to be part of an exciting entrepreneurial organization working directly with students to provide better access to a degree. We are powered by diverse leaders and are committed to fighting the status quo. When life is full of work and family, students' chances of obtaining a bachelor’s degree drop significantly. For these same students, we are building a path that offers them a better chance of graduating and securing a career to support their future.
