Testimonials

  • “Grad Team Collective was a thoughtful and knowledgeable partner. When we wanted to think through how counselors can help youth have a vision of their postsecondary future and design a summer program for career readiness, we turned to the Grad Team Collective for support. Not only were they knowledgeable and thoughtful partners, but they reliably came through with high quality materials and invaluable research and guidance."
