For our international students, the goal is often "getting in" to a top university and securing the skills required for Green Card success.
We help our students identify that being college ready and career ready are two different milestones. To succeed in a globalized workforce, you need a strategy that covers all bases. At Learning Pathways Consultants, we cover three essential areas that transect across all areas: Applied Knowledge, Universal "Power Skills" (like adaptability and ethics), and a Technical Foundation. Navigating these requirements can be overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. Meredith is here to help, she identifies three important ways a student can develop.
Applied Knowledge: Global employers look for more than high test scores. They need graduates who can apply math and literacy to professional contexts, such as drafting technical reports or analyzing international data.
The "Universal" Power Skills: Skills like adaptability, cross-cultural collaboration, and critical thinking are the "power skills" of the 21st century. These traits allow you to thrive in any workplace, regardless of the country or culture.
Technical Foundations: Gaining industry-specific certifications early gives you a competitive edge. It proves you have the practical skills to contribute to a team from day one.
With over 20 years of experience, Meredith specializes in helping students self-advocate by giving them the tools to develop courage and confidence. Whether you are looking for a bespoke, personalised approach to school selection or specific expertise in neurodivergence and learning differences, Meredith’s background and Master’s in Special Education ensures your family has a dedicated advocate.
At Learning Pathways, we don't just help you get a degree; we help you build a future. Meredith will support your family every step of the way to ensure you are truly college-ready and career-prepared.
