Little is known about foster care adolescents' readiness to engage in post-secondary education, their developmental needs during their college transition, and ways professionals can offer assistance. A 10-week college and career readiness intervention program entitled, “Students That Are Reaching Success (S.T.A.R.S.),” was conducted for a study that addressed individual participants' college and career readiness self-efficacy. S.T.A.R.S. was designed to prepare participants for postsecondary education options and career decision-making post-high school. The results of this study and its implications for both counseling and higher education in professionals and researchers working with adolescents aging-out of foster care will be shared.
