Reviews
"A college degree is not the golden ticket anymore. Of the 800 companies surveyed: - 45% plan to eliminate bachelor’s degree requirements - 80% value experience over education - 60% consider AI skills important This trend is not new and is continuing to gain momentum. This organization puts it into the heads of young people that college is the end all be all, and it’s not. Now a days college isn't very useful anymore. And the student loan debt is 100% not worth it. Why would you get a four year degree when a two year degree can be much more valuable? Stay away from this organization. Keep your kids away from this organization."
"As an elementary school teacher at a Title 1 school I have had the chance to work with quite a few non-profits. College Forward stands out as an incredible organization that advocates for, mentors and ultimately follows the oft overlooked and undervalued students in our community through college graduation. I have had the opportunity of working next to a dedicated young woman who is a product of College Forward and is an absolute credit to the teaching profession. Very, very impressed. I am excited to see their further impact on future generations."
