Preparing Your High School Senior and Parents for the College Experience
Interactive College Readiness Training for High School Seniors and Families in New Jersey and Nationwide, Covering Safety, Social Awareness, Study Habits, and Developing a Sensible Routine -
*This training is appropriate for schools as well as individual families*
The transition from high school to college is one of the most exciting and genuinely overwhelming experiences any family will face together. Students and parents alike are unprepared for the magnitude of change that college life brings. Pringle's Training Services created this family-focused training to provide essential, interactive guidance for families in Newark, NJ, before move-in day.
This training goes far beyond academics and application timelines to address the real and often overlooked dimensions of college readiness. Dr. Theresa Pringle H.C. leads this session with the same foundational belief that guides every Pringle's Training Services program: Make It Make Sense. CHANGE THE MINDSET. CHANGE THE OUTCOME. Because college success starts long before the first day of class, with the right family preparation, mindset, and tools in place.
What This Training Is About
This training offers a comprehensive and fully interactive approach to college readiness for both high school seniors and their parents in a single session. It directly addresses five critical areas that determine whether a student's first college year is a successful and empowering experience or an overwhelming and avoidable struggle. Those five areas are personal safety, environmental awareness, social awareness, best study habit practices, and developing a daily routine that is both sensible and sustainable. Every topic is delivered through real-time simulation scenarios and interactive engagement activities that bring each area to life in a memorable and genuinely applicable way. Parents and students move through the material side by side, building a shared understanding and a stronger family plan for navigating everything college life will bring.
