Findings from 2 rounds of interviews suggest that intentional strategies to integrate postsecondary readiness and planning into counselor education curricula is necessary to efficiently prepare school counselors to promote college access and success for at-risk youth, thereby reducing the inequities that currently exist in postsecondary degree attainment.
