Thank you for your interest in Academic Innovations. I'm Mindy Bingham, author of the Career Choices series and the founder and CEO of Academic Innovations.

As education continues to evolve, we're committed to keeping these pages updated with new insights, resources, and tools that support your work. I hope you'll visit often.

One of the biggest challenges educators face today is connecting with students who don't yet see the value of their learning. How do we help them become active participants in their education? How do we show them the link between what they're learning now and the futures they imagine for themselves? And how do we equip them with the life skills and financial literacy they'll need to thrive in a rapidly changing world of work? Across our platforms, we offer practical, research-based solutions to these questions.

Our Career Choices series directly addresses these issues. Through interactive, learner-centered activities, students begin to place their dreams, goals, and aspirations within a larger life context. Those aha moments happen—students realize there is a connection between the work they do in the classroom and the lives they want to build. Engagement increases dramatically because, as in all aspects of life, individuals take ownership when they see personal relevance and purpose.

If improving high school or college completion is a priority for your institution, you'll want every student to complete this comprehensive guidance course, which culminates in the development of a personalized, informed online 10-Year Plan.

More than 3 million students nationwide have used these materials, and schools have implemented them in a wide range of settings—from standalone freshman transition courses to fully integrated, interdisciplinary programs.
